My graft worked!! 🤩 Couldn’t be more Horticultural My graft worked!! 🤩 Couldn’t be more Horticulturally chuffed at this point. 

Bucket list ✅ 

The Cox’s is on dwarf root stock, and the tree is planted in a wine barrel I converted to a wicking bed. I chose these two, as they are compatible pollinator varieties and will have quite distinct flavoured apples. Yippeee!

I’ve got this friend… Actually, numerous who will I’ve got this friend…

Actually, numerous who will text me on the reg:

What’s this plant? (photo of leaf). Where would this be happy? (photo of plant and the garden) Is this dead? (photo of crispy, brown leaves). Why are my lemon tree leaves yellow - did I kill it? (more photos of leaves). Why are the possums eating everything? (photos of chewed leaves, skinned lemons and crying emojis). 

One of my very “enthusiastic” friends, will text me (at all hours) for the inside horty scoop, as she calls it, so…I bought her #therookiegardener. 

It’s the book all horticulturists needed! (For their friends and family). I’m hopeful it will reduce the Hort text lessons and photos of…leaves 🤣 

Thanks @fosteryourgarden ! A wonderful resource, full of super helpful info and really fun to read. 👏🏻 💚
