Corn Plant (Dracaena) - Trimming -- Update

In my October 27, 2010 blog post I illustrated the trimming of my corn plant (Dracaena). I set the plant outside during the summer and it grew too tall to bring in, so I trimmed the plant.

Here's an update on the status of the Corn Plant trimming:

Shortly after trimming, the smallest cutting actually flowered (to my surprise).

At first the "mother"/original corn plant developed mold where the cut was made.  It's now been over two months and the "mother"/original corn plant is now sprouting leaves and the spot where the cut was made is mostly healed.

Potato Planter -- 2010

My first potato planter.

 

I simply nailed a 1x2 frame together and then screwed pine 1x4's to the outside in order to create a planter.  

 

I was careful to buy untreated wood since I planned to eat my potatoes.Then, I just built it up as the plants grew.

Once the plants got to be approximately four to six inches tall, I would hill them by piling additional soil around the base and leaves of the plant.
