Thanks for the info on oregano, I had not heard of using honey before. Shame, of it is, I do not know anyone with a plant.

I first read of using honey as a root stimulater when I was having low success rates with rooting lemon verbena. One source said use honey instead of a commercial preparation. I tried it and it worked. Now I use honey when the store-bought doesn't work well.

I let my mind roam on that one, do you suppose that Mother Nature, had a bear eat a honey comb, in a spot she wanted a rare plant branch to grow and had the bear break off the branch?

Amazing the uses we can make of common things like honey and vinegar.

I am glad you are testing the onion, keep us posted on how it works.

Actually it shouldn’t surprise us, as the onion bulb is meant by Mother Nature to supply food to the onion bloom spike so it will produce seeds, to reproduce more onion plants.

And so goes real life.
