For the past couple weeks – every time I drove past our house – I noticed my out of control potato vines and how I needed to trim them.

Today, I decided to break my gardening rut and try to root the potato vine from cuttings.  This is easily done with Ivy so let’s see how it plays out with a Potato vine.

Step 1: Cut it

Step 2: Remove some of the leaves close to the cutting so the leaves won’t be in the water.

Step 3: Find a cup, add water and put the cuttings in the water.

If it works.  I will have some new (almost free) potato vines to add to other arrangements.

Here is a snapshot of the before, after and the cuttings in water.  Stay tuned.
