Almost 4 weeks later and the grafts look good! The ground is soggy from so much moisture yet I feel it has been beneficial for our grafting process. 19 degrees has not been uncommon in the morning this last month. It is too soon to plant anything yet, but ripe to plan.....
I am ording seeds and taking stock of last years notes. Our seed bank is full of greens and fava beans and flower seeds. Some things I will order, like purple, yellow, red potatoes and onions.
Next weekend I plan to obtain local horse manure to add to the compost pile as it grows from all the dead cuttings from our planter boxes last fall. To this mixture I will add oak leaf mulch from under our oaks and some seaweed. As long as the seaweed is washed, it should not make the soil too salty. A handfull of worms and a pile of newspapers from the Lewis garden will top it off. Compost is always an experiment with me!
