Wow! A box of some fairly special butternuts arrived today too. What a day! These probably won't be for sale, but I may have some trees for sale in a year or two.

What a day for an addition to the farm! Thankfull it isn't snowing, and not terribly windy though. She calved last year @ 5am and it was around 12 below zero that time, so this is a slight improvement.

Here is a couple pics of some flowers and fruit for a "not quite spring day" This is my 3rd harvest from my Meyer lemon. I think it had 22 lemons this time!

We are coming upon that time of year again for bench grafting. I will have some half standard, and semi dwarf apple rootstocks available, as well as more than 50 different cultivars of apple scion. If interested in trying your hand at it, message me. I have done both bench and top working. Top working trees seems to be nearly foolproof. Of the 40 or so top working grafts I have done I think there has only been 1 failure(because I didn't take the wrap off soon enough). It is a fun, somewhat challenging, and rewarding experience.
