dendrite

Nice sunrise this morning. Glad we today.

Maybe I can hit 70F in Mehy.

I just got an email from Cummins Nursery for 50% off all of their apple, peach, and pear scions. I got 2ea of 6 different apples and 1 type of pear. Apples: GoldRush, Spartan, Enterprise, Sweet Sixteen, Freedom, and Ashmead's Kernel Pear: AC Harrow Crisp Anyone here have grafting experience? I'm planning to just do some cleft grafts onto my existing large apple tree which currently has crap fruit. I'll try a couple of the Harrows on my existing pear trees as well. It's a good way of trying a bunch of different varieties without planting a bunch of trees. I've never done a graft before, but it doesn't look too difficult. As long as 1 of the 2of each variety take I'll be happy.

I have some of both growing from seed. The spruce came from my own existing trees. Unfortunately the voles tore them up in my garage. I have a few dawn seedlings alive in a single pot in my basement. A couple of giant sequoias as well. I have some random trees that I grow. The voles wiped out a lot. I have a few white willows in air pots from cuttings that are growing well. Some need to be upsized. Some of my black walnuts survived the attacks and most of the pawpaws did as well. This year I already have a few chinquapins and macadamia nuts that have their radicles emerged. I have more pawpaws, butternut, and some ginko that are still stratifying. I have a bunch of northern catalpa growing together in a fabric pot that probably needs to be separated and repotted while dormant. If there's a particular tree you like and you don't mind experimenting you can find seeds for almost anything on sheffields. I like the air pots because the roots don't get tangled around themselves like in standard pots. I'll have to show you a pic of one of my willows with the air pot removed. It's a fobrous mass of roots. You could probably grow a cold hard fig down there as well. In extreme cold it may die back, but it would fire right back up in the spring. You seem to be more into ornamentals though.

It may be right though. The 1926 had quite a few cP days. 6/17 up here had a low of 33F and 6/20 had 31F (Franklin COOP).

CON had 36F that day. 1926 has record low mins at ORH on 6/20 and 21 too. Also lots of top 3s right into July. Maybe an unshielded thermo that year?

Jesus. What's the avg last freeze there?

Gorgeous out.

I loved it last year when he was praying for rain weekly and then within a few days he was worried about fungus.

Goofus is an SOS up here Thu night...hope it's wrong.

Yeah next week is looking great. Let's see how we can F it up.

It was windy up here this morning with clouds and a few flurries, but once it cleared out the wind diminished. Only 47° but I got a bit of a burn on my face doing stuff outside.

Idk…I like days like this in early April. Give me dry sunshine and I’m good. It’s too early to tan the perineum anyway. The nape is fine for now.

Didn’t get much snow. Got a lot of glop events. Bamboo got killed from the -10s with wind cold shot. Finishing up now with an extra long mud season. I’ll go D.

Really getting sick of the rain. Reflooded again.

Going out like a winter moth here.

Up to 48° with these downpours

My mom just texted me saying it was so warm out without knowing the hell we have up here. Unintentional trolling.

39.2° Depressing

39.7° +RA

Keep Morch out of your ****ing mouth.

It was still pretty warm overall. ORH was +2.9 coming into the day and that’s with the new normals too. Definitely not a 2010 or 2012, but there was a lack of true cold until the final week.

I still have a bit of a snow pile remaining.
