Time to look at propagation to increase your garden's future bounty

Hardwood cutting is a great way to increase your future year’s bounty, writes Fiann Ó Nualláin

In the kitchen garden each year we predominately sow afresh our next crop of vegetables, there are some perennial herbs that may need to be divided from time to time to regenerate or to extend the crop yield. If there is the space then there can be some hardwood fruits from raspberry canes to an apple tree that are often seen as reliably self-sufficient or at least low maintenance.
