White Strawberry Plant by Dana

So we purchased an addition to the strawberry family White Strawberry plant.  The strawberries are very tiny and they have a sweet creamy taste.

Fresh squeezed Meyer lemon juice. I will use it to make lemonade and the rest I will freeze for later. I just picked up a Purple Tomatillo and a Pink Lemonade Blueberry plant.

Scions for my container garden

Just received some scions from a fellow gardener's garden. Dami Fig, Farralones Pear, Satsuma Tangerine,  Shamouti Blood Orange,  Mexicola & Hass Avacado,  Montmorancy Cherry. Ashmead, Fireside, Hudson,  Macoun, Ribston and Wickson Apples.

Grafting my potted fruit trees

It's been a year since I learned how to graft at Merritt college. Grafting is very easy, anyone can do it, even you!! I grafted Golden delicious & Moraga antique scions onto one (1) rootstock. This week I visited some fellow gardeners and they allowed me to cut scions from their fruit trees. Thursday I grafted the scions, and if scions attach properly I will have Cripps pink & Pink pearl Apple on one tree, Black mission & Brown turkey Fig on one tree and Hachiya & Fire Crystal Persimmon. Since my space is limited,  grafting allows me to add more varieties of fruits to my container garden.
