    I don't have Rozanne but I've split my geraniums a number of times. They are tough plants and I've split them up when dormant or semi dormant. I dig them up, cut them through with a spade and replant. They recover completely so I've not bothered with cuttings.

    What's buzzing or flying near you 2025 ?

    There was a bird of prey lingering around here this morning, nothing on the bird feeders just gulls chasing it off, which is what drew my attention to it, it looked fairly big.
