When we visit Pittsburgh, a trip out to West View Cemetery where Digby and Mole are laid to rest is usually part of our visit. While there last summer, I pinched a few pieces of ivy from the graves, rooted them in water and potted up the rooted cuttings. As you can see, the plant is spindly. Should I do some trimming? This is the usual technique to create a bushier plant. Because we share approximately the same climate zone as Pittsburgh, if the cuttings grow, a new home in the patio garden will be in the plan.
Digby and Mole are the loving nicknames my twin brother Jan and I gave to our parents when we were teenagers.
I know "Mim" is another one of your mother's nicknames. What is your father's name? And how did you and your brother come up with those nicknames, and which one belonged to whom? I didn't know you were a twin.
