So, last winter (January 2025) I bought jasmine officinale cuttings from an Etsy vendor. The listing was for 10 cuttings, she sent 14. I dipped them in rooting hormones (organic) and put them in a pot in a south facing window and 12 formed roots. I moved them into larger pots on the back porch when it warmed up outside and once the ground was nice and warm started putting them in the ground. Most of them are along two sides of our shed in the back yard with 2" x 3" wire fencing mesh as a trellis since jasmine can get quite large. The last one is in my front flower bed. I only lost one of the plants after putting them in the ground. They are forming flowers! Most of the buds are in the ones that are facing south, but all of the plants are greening up nicely! I am so excited about how well these are doing! I love jasmine green tea and I plan on using the flowers for tea once they really start producing!

Borage is a perfect answer to attract pollinators like bees and provides natural pest control by repelling hornworms. You should plant borage to promote pollination and support a healthy garden ecosystem. A little long, but worth it https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=03e6c53e8d6f6b3168079e84977ec0001201edd85219b43627f43643f19fbbd8JmltdHM9MTc3NzA3NTIwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0c81ace2-3430-6d05-14dc-bbdf35136cda&u=a1L3ZpZGVvcy9yaXZlcnZpZXcvcmVsYXRlZHZpZGVvP3E9eWVsbG93K2h1c2srZ3JvdW5kK2NoZXJyeStjb21wYW5pb24rcGxhbnRzJm1pZD1ENjU0NkVGN0Y4RUJERjRBOTgwMUQ2NTQ2RUY3RjhFQkRGNEE5ODAxJmNodXJsPWh0dHBzJTNhJTJmJTJmd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tJTJmY2hhbm5lbCUyZlVDSmFybFZGdGF4QVlXdFpuZUJwbWJ1ZyZGT1JNPVZJUkU
