Where did you find peppermint soap? I need some.

I use Dr. Bronner's. I have a 16 ounce bottle. I also make my own.

I will look and see if I can find it at Walmart. Thank you.

If not Walmart, then a natural foods market or online.

I found this video that has some nice footage of different types of grafting. Makes it look so easy. I think key is having a good sharp knife or three.

I found a giant inch worm on my avocado, it's like 2 1/2 inches long, I've never seen one that big.

Apples and pear are fairly easy . The difficult trees are the ones that wake up late . Like nut trees , Mulberry and persimmon . These you need to wait for some active growth as they are slow to heal .
Plum and peaches are usually budded in July but can be done in spring . Again they need to be pushing leaves for best results .

Here is the broccoli and cauliflower I pulled up and the netting over the bed. I have not got the stakes in yet. We had some strong winds come thru last night and knocked over my large tomato plant and knocked off some tomato's. I was scared it broke off but luckily it did not.

They were covered in the little green worms. So I yanked em.

That thing has been eating good and been around a long time. Yuck!
