Would a milk jug be OK? It's not clear, translucent, but I think that would help too.
sad thing is that I can set up a saltwater aquarium in less than an hour, but I can't even root coleuses.

But I've been doing aquariums for 14 years and gardening for 3. Guess that's the difference, huh.
I wandered a teeny bit yesterday (painfully, very very painfully.. fighting a cold & Tuesday night at the gym killed me) the front yard. I didn't pull back any mulch, but I don't think I lost any roses in the front yard (

). This winter was very short and too dry. Gonna have to start watering soon (Sunday I'm planning on watering). Many of my roses don't even show any winterkill on their canes... Mardi Gras is green from crown to dirt, as is Blue Bayou, Judy Garland, & JFK. Gonna have fun trimming as soon as my forsythias decide to do SOMETHING. When I was at the zoo on 2/10, I saw that the lilacs were starting to leaf out, but mine are still waiting (my area is usually about 3-5 weeks behind downtown due to being on the plains & about 1000ft higher). I wonder if I should try to root any of my cuttings that are 100% green?
What brand/type of rooting hormone does everyone use?
