GRAFTING

WE HAVE JUST GRAFTED A CRAB APPLE TO OUR HONEY CRISPS IN OUR GARDEN.
LAUREL AND I TAPED THE SHORT TWIGS IN PLACE...WE WILL SEE IF IT TAKES IN A FEW WEEKS. MY GOOD FRIEND GAIL TELLS ME THAT THIS IS DIFFICULT WORK AND ONLY SOMETIMES WORKS AS ONE NEEDS TO LINE UP THE 10 CELLS THICK CAMBIUM LAYER! I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.
FOR NOW WE HAVE SOME GARLIC SPROUTS AND ROOTS AND GREENS GOING IN THE BEDS. WE ARE HOPING EVERYTHING DOES NOT DROWN IN THIS 3 DAY DELUGE OF RAIN! THE LEWIS GARDEN IS PARTICULARLY SOAKED RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE JUST EATEN A MOST ENJOYABLE MEAL OF TURNIP GREENS AND RICE. TURNIP GREENS ARE HIGH IN CALCIUM AND VITAMIN A-GREAT FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR OF REBUILDING OUR BODIES FOR THE SPRING AHEAD.
SOON THE NEXT BATCH OF TREES WILL ARRIVE AND WILL BE PLANTED AT THE GARDEN....LOOKING FORWARD!
