What did you do in the garden today?

Looking at planting out my garden tomorrow.

whip & tongue grafted 15 apple trees and a couple of pears today. Only cut my fingers twice. Once on a whip and once on a tongue.

I have always wanted to learn how to go about doing that, any good directions?

Since my new run is my old garden, I feel qualified to answer the OP.
I'm taking down the old fence to re-attach to the coop. I'm building the Duck House in a old storage area on the side of my garage. So today I started knocking out holes between the rafters and removing siding for venting. I need to run more electricity but if I do it, the whole room has to be on the same circuit, because I'm a bricklayer by trade, not a sparky.

This was my first time as well. I think #1 is having the right tools. I bought a victorinox grafting knife on amazon and some Buddy Tape brand grafting tape. A sharp knife is important. I followed this video on the w&t grafting.

Next year I plan to get some rootstock from Cummins before they run out and try a few more. The longterm plan is grafting scions to my growing pawpaw seedlings.

I will take a look into it, thank you.

My son said that some mother's in all 50 states took a poll to answer what gift they wanted for mother's day. In Iowa they said help doing chores and sleep, lol. Yep that sums it up.

Sleep? What's that? Hope everybody had a good day. I know for some Mother's Day is a hard day, for whatever reason, and I send any of you in that place much love.

I'm going to collect a bunch of dandelion seeds while I'm here and try to sow them at my place... The dandelions are giant. Very pretty

dig some roots if you can. they might not start from seeds now (too hot for them).

We may get planted by the 15th May also
before they would drown or get cold
