I’m lucky to be married to a keen gardener, I just cut the lawn and do a bit of labouring.
Lawn is not that great on close inspection.

These are the mini cabbages plus some lettuce, that’s why they are so packed. And need weeding! Job for tomorrow.

Can you take a cutting from any plant/Bush, and are there different ways of doing it with them?
Not everything. I’m not an expert on this but a few examples.
Soft stemmed plants with multiple top growth, for example Dahlia, hydrangeas. Cut the top off a new stem 2 leaves down from the top of the new shoot. Remove the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom into some rooting compound and press it into some watered compost. It will droop but then should produce good roots.
Softwood stems. Cut a piece of stem from just below the new growth bit. Then as above.
Woody stems. Take a small branch and peg it down in the ground by the plant or in a pot. when roots form cut it off from the bush.
Plants with runners like strawberries, push runner into compost.
Plants that spread. You are often able to split them at the roots.
Anything you don’t want. Leave it, it will sort itself out.
