Garden 2024!

field report for grafted trees

the first 20 i done in early season theres 16 out of 20...so 4 failures..they would have taken and were growing till critter damage hit..i mean a graft cant grow out when critter takes it off and there no bud left to grow out.

second batch of 10 has 8 trees growing....so two failed and one of them the root stock actually died...so dont feel so bad....these late grafts grew a fraction of the early graft. i will make sure to not do that again getting root stock delivered later in season...only early stuff from now on.


i did see a bite out of seedling though...more damage control work i guess.

Thanks for that update.

I am not giving up on my grafts because we are in a drought and the trees were dropping leaves and fruit. I do plan to cut if the branch above the grafts to give the grafts more sun light.

My shipment of seed garlic has shipped!

It will be miniscule compared with last year but I gotta start somewhere.

Been cleaning up the garden flower pots, tubs,washtubs.
All but one.
Estelle has watermelon growing in it.
They range in size half dollar to small basketball size.
She is so funny, she talks to them, rubs on them like she petting them.
Put small pinholes into the stock tank for drainage yesterday.
Will start filling it up with tree branches if I can find them, card board, soil and coffee grounds starting tomorrow.
Will have it ready by spring.
She's excited.

My order has shipped too.
Not the shallots, just the garlic.

If you were recommend books about Hydroponics?
What would you recommend?
I like to read about future plans before I commit.
Also Mushroom growing?
