Who else is doing chores today? Manure is still frozen but regardless the trees need it and it’s unlikely to unthaw anytime soon. I’m skimming some off the top that is the layer that’s thawing from the warm sun today. The first picture is a large chunk I flipped up to show the frost underneath.

These pawpaw and persimmon are going back in the refrigerator with vermiculite and perlite anticipating their spring debut! Anytime now will be time to wake up so today I breathed oxygen in the bag added something to root in and sealed it back up.

Ground is as hard as rock here. Went to Lowe’s to get grafting tape. Talked to some Amish about getting some wood from them. Didn’t realize how many Contender Peach trees around the Amish community.

Gonna snow here Monday night. I’m going to put ashes from my fireplace saved up around my Persian walnut rootstocks. I’ll be grafting heartnuts to them and Persian walnuts. They really like ash to sweeten the soil.
