    Loggie—what a drama! Not only painful but also tiring. I hope that wrist heals without incident.
    Get well soon, mwte.

    @Clay_22 one of our Snake Plants began to unexpectedly die back last year. I wanted to try and propagate from it.
    First I manage to save one leaf which I cut off the dying plant and just dipped the end in rooting gel.....took a while but eventually new fresh leaves appeared. Old original leaf in on the left .

    I also cut the tip of from a leaf that was beginning to show signs of decline, and did exactly the same as with the whole leaf cutting.

    It has now developed 3 new leaves...again this was a slow process too. Original tip of leaf is on the left.

    Took me ages to work out why I kept humming "Wheels on Fire" while I was using the Auger :D

    For us 'mericans:
    Vimto (and now I want some !! )

    Vimto is a British mixed fruit soft drink containing the juice of grapes, raspberries, blackcurrants, and black carrots flavoured with herbs and spices.[1] Originating in Manchester, Northern England, the recipe was invented in 1908 by John Noel Nichols of Blackburn. It was first manufactured as a health tonic in cordial form, then decades later as a carbonated drink. Produced domestically by Nichols plc, it is available in cans and bottles in carbonated, still, cordial (squash), and energy forms and it has also been made into a sweet, ice lolly and other items.[2] Vimto is traditionally most popular in the north of England[1][3]

    Too hot for any gardening today, but will water everything tonight if it doesn't rain.
    I've vacuum cleaned the whole house. I now need my second shower of the day, before lunch (pâté on toast).
