For many indoor gardeners, everything starts with cuttings (aka clones). If you can’t get rooted plants, you will never have a functioning garden. So how do we get stem cuttings that will root quickly and thoroughly? And how does a plant stem generate roots in the first place?
Here’s all the info you need about cloning plants in your grow room.

Two brothers from Beijing have carved out an unusual career – making musical instruments from carrots, potatoes and other vegetables. The idea of playing music with vegetables came to Nan Weidong, 43, and Nan Weiping, 41, only two years ago, but it has since become a passion and a career. The brothers learned to play conventional instruments from their father, a music teacher, when they were children. Now the pair live and work in a narrow apartment in Beijing, drilling holes in carrots, marrows, lotus roots and Chinese yams to make vegetable instruments that they perfect using an old electronic tuner. According to the brothers, different vegetables have different scales and are therefore suited to different melodies: a sweet potato makes an ocarina, a bamboo shoot becomes a flute, a yam, a whistle. But controlling the pitch is still extremely difficult, because changes in the air temperature, humidity and other factors can warp the shape of the holes and put the notes out of tune. The Nan brothers, whose repertoire ranges from traditional Chinese flute music to modern pop to western folk songs like Auld Lang Syne, have appeared on talent shows in China and can receive payments of 30000 to 50000 yuan (£3000 to £5000) for a performance.

Here’s my weekly video. Things are going well. I cut the pumpkin out of its pot and planted it in the ground. It was root bound….not enough space for the roots to grow. I plan to treat the spaghetti squash similarly….afraid of tearing up the plant if I remove the entire pot, so I’ll cut out the bottom 1/2 of the pot, dig a hole, till up the soil and plunk it in to give the roots room to grow. Thanks for lookin’ and if you have any advice, please leave me a post. I’m always eager to learn. Video Rating: 4 / 5
