Rooting, Grafting and Freezing Fruit


I want to make this clear before getting started with the article. I have not got much experience with fruit trees. Although I always wanted to have one, I never had the land of my own for one.
There are several links on this blog loaded with helpful information. I hope these will help you. Please use whichever is best suited for you. I have found them to be very useful, and full of needed information.

If you're going to graft trees, please check with the extension service first. They can assist you in deciding what is best for you. There is some confusing information about Grafting, so check with them first. Their site has been noted below to help and there is a reminder next to it for you. Freezing fruits is also on here as well. I researched the subject, and sited the best and most reliable source I could locate.

Rooting seems to be a wonderful option. And growing dwarf Fruit trees is on here for those who have very limited space. Grafting is an idea which should really be researched, and thought through. Apparently, if not done carefully, there can be dire consequences later on.
Fruit can help sustain a family. You can grow some dwarf trees, which don't get too large, and learn how to can them, or freeze them, so they'll last for months. As seen in one of these videos, they don't have to take up a lot of space, and can be very useful .

 Although rooting may take a bit more patience, it seems to be the least expensive and most effective
method of getting good results. And canning, or freezing appears to bring optimum results for making your produce last as long as possible. There is a large amount of fruit to be thought of.Some of which I haven't heard if in several years or not at all. For example, the loquat or many others. I'd like to try the Cherry Guava. I bet it's delicious. Or the dragon fruit. It looks so juicy, and sweet! Mmmmm .

Becoming self- sustaining is an achievement in itself. You'll reap what you sow by the benefits of fresh air, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and healthier living.
Grafting fruit trees can be an experience to learn from, and though it takes patience, and time the results can be very gratifying. This is a craft which takes some time and patience to learn, and research. This is something I am doing a bit of learning of. The subject interests me a great deal.

The good thing about planting your own veggies is that you may not have to keep going to buy groceries as much. Wedge grafting looks like an interesting subject. I am going to be researching that, and will be posting a link from it soon.

Especially right now at times like this with the sheltering in place, having a garden comes in very useful.

I hope you find this article helpful, and enjoy using the following links.

When Your Plant Says: "Gimme some Elbow Room!!!"

Image
Its odd. We, as human beings never realize the things we have in common with plants. They have a love for pretty music, and cheerful tones, so do we. They adore attention, so do we at times. They like quiet conversations, us too. And they also have some physical features in common too!They have Elbows, which are important, which I'll explain how they're vital to your plant, especially if they are a Pothos, or another vining plant similar to it. Elbows(also known as joints), are like your plant's lifeline. This may be where you notice new growth. Often times it is where new branches bud from, or new leaves. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to check for new growth, and clear any old debris that may be slowing down new twigs, branches, or leaves . As the weather gets warmer, it's always a good idea to clear out any debris from your plants, including veggies. You feel better when you clean up, they do too . And it healthier (generally speaking), to kee

The Main Tools You Want For Gardening

     The basic tools you're going to use almost daily in your garden, are a good trowel (hand held), and a good Spade, rich potting soil, and maybe some  kind of fertilizer. This will give your plants, and flowers that added zest to feed them. Fertilizing can really give your plants a great boost, but only when done well. So please be sure to do plenty of research on the subject. There's a lot of information that can be helpful. If you  have a vegetable fetish, and would like to really pinch corners, then the next time you buy  produce of any sort, pluck the seeds out, set them on a dry paper towel, or paper plate, or most anything you feel they'll be rather safe on, and allow them to dry in the sun for a few days. When they feel as if they have dried enough to put them in the ground, you have seeds for growing.You can also do this with raw corn, cataloupes, watermelon, lemons, oranges peas, beans, and (maybe even rice), never tried it. Experiment. Try all veggies i
