hello!
herb cuttings - when?

When is the best time to take cuttings for herbs? Would it be ok to do them now?
Should I leave them outside, in my mini-greenhouse or indoors?
I'm taking cuttings from sage, rosemary and thyme.

Hi Aqui, don't know if there is a right or wrong time but when I took cuttings I did it about mid June. I simply tore off a bit from the mother plant making sure I had a woody stem and put them in pots of well draining soil and kept them moist. I kept them outside and by winter they were hardy enough to stay outside (I'm talking about rosemary and sage, can't speak for thyme)

I think I did mine a bit later on -maybe a month or 2. Thyme is dead easy -even from the tiniest cutting, Sage I always have problems with, I keep it through the winter and it dies in the spring, basically I don't keep it moist enough.

I've just had some success with sage (for the first time)
I took the cuttings 3 weeks ago and put half in come GP compost with added vermiculite and others in plain sand (3.5" pot in shaded propogator)
Lavender did very well with the same treatment
