What did you do in the garden today?
I found a Devil plant tree growing wild in my yard and I decided to try my hand at grafting an eggplant on to it. I have tried to do this about 5 years ago but failed. I think I did it this time. The graft looks like its healing over. I did two grafts, and they look like they will make it. The... -
