Just got back from the fairgrounds and they have a garden growing almost full blast. I came home and said screw it and planted carrots and lettuce. Let's get this show on the road and worry about it later.

I quit using all the grafting supplies and now I just bind the graft with teflon tape (it's what I had) to seal it and then over that I tape it with black electrical tape to exclude light and make it more rigid. Fancy tape will not make up for a sloppily aligned graft and bad tape will rarely...

Well first off Mcpurple, grafting is quite easy as long as you have nimble fingers. The process is simple but the devil is in the details and in the execution of the graft. Scion wood is a piece of a branch that is taken from a donor tree to graft onto another tree so in that way you create...

What's not to like about pain pills.....What!

Yeah Mugs, looks pretty nice. Plants look healthey. Heat not a problem? With the plants I mean! Doesnt appear you lost any?

Spent today grafting. And planting but mostly grafting. Hoping to introduce several new fruits but mostly just lengthen the harvest on our trees. We eat everything. We can and cook and roast and mash and prepare about everything we grow so sometimes we can get a little overwhelmed with one...

I have no Idea how to tell but I grow sequia they produce big fatties and taste great. good yield Yo're turning into quite the little farmer there aren't you? Some of your boss rubbing off?

seems like last year at this time at this time I had a load of lettuce that came up on it's own (I let my lettuce go to seed and then collect my own seed) but so far not much. We have cherry tomatoes all over the yard (they plant themselves). Swiss chard is doing ok. Swiss chard is pretty tasty...

Hey Mcpurple, once you get going you might see if you can sell some on ebay bare root? May be an income stream it sounds as though some of the normal markets are closed. Wouldn't want to compete I understand that. Different season too. I like berries because the money is in the fact that they...

I have a peach tree that throws really good fruit. Nice plump tasty peaches. It's dying and the termites are so bad that I;m afraid there is no hope so I grafted it onto a couple of weed stonefruit trees that came up on their own and WHAM!! Two new peach trees to take it's place. I'm expecting...

scion wood is the budded wood from the tree that you want more of and it is grafted onto either rootstock or limbs/trunks/branches/stumps. Many diff styles but all accomplishing the same

I have had lousy yield off the "Alpine" Sequoia is my strwberry of choice these days. Nice big fruit

Those look cool. In the description it says "medicinal" Wonder what the "medicinal" use of strawberries are? Google?

"Patented" breeds of plants are illegal to sell and I would not do that. As far as starting a clone, it may be technically "illegal" but I say if you own the plant then you can do whatever you want with it. No one is coming into your backyard and checking plants for patent infringement anytime...

Now is the time (in So Cal anyway) to be taking scion wood and grafting your fav fruit trees. If you have fruit trees and haven't done any grafting I would advise you to try it or if you've tried it and failed (as I have) try it again. Very cool. Last year I had many successful grafts and...

I put some glass over the raised bed I planted the squash in and it's heating up real nice. No sprouts yet but they been in there several days so soon I spect. Got a cold and wet one coming in though so I might lose the planting. Not to be discouraged if I do though, I will just plant again. I...
