Waiting for spring. Got a tidy fit and the two of us cleaned a bunch of stuff out of the junk room upstairs, found 4 more 1 litre pots. Threw a bunch of stuff out. One chestnut on the table is enlongating its petioles, will send up a shoot soon. I'll graft it and dream of tasty nuts. Ate some nut butter off our trees. Ate a few pine nuts too, not good in nut butter ,flavour clash, but yummy on their own. Hens have gone clucky with the longer days. Two chicks from before Christmas are getting a bit of size on them.
Checked my scions in the fridge, none are mouldy:)
Walnuts are OK too, no mould there either..........will probably not graft those as the seedlings are pretty good on their own. What's everybody else up to?

Seed catalogs, checking what I have and what I need to get, waiting for a few packages, dreaming of the garden, one of last year's squash is roasting in the oven . . . noticed a few foolhardy bulbs and shoots poking up outside. Not Spring yet! But is will come!

yes, and even better is having a friend offer you some seeds of something you've wanted Got offered blue hubbard today, I'll say yes, grin. I'm saving orange Hopi for her.

lots of tree-cutting to clear out around trees i want to graft onto - wild persimmon and black walnut...which necessitates a bit of juggling of logs in the wood storage/drying area. got a lot of scion collection (and buying?), seed ordering, etc to do. and more chainsaw work. also deer fence to put up and an orchard area to plant and guard. is this supposed to be my to-do list? i'll stop there.

Spring is here for me; time to start working off my winter coat of useless poundage.
