Thanks for the clarification. You got a link for that graph/data?

 

 

Right on the bottom it gives you the app chart number. Just search that in the plotter.

Already watching and invested in that next one behind Leo for laser week of month.. More dews and summer as that will again pump the WAR in east 

The next few days are pretty much the last hurrah for dews. There will be more ahead of fronts, but I think the sustained stuff is done. Then of course comes 12/24.

64.9° overcast and dropping with occasional drizzle. Much cooler feel and the chickens appreciate it.

This is what you want. Here’s just 9/1-9/9. There were a couple of real dewy Seps back in the boomer years.

You can’t compare the first week of dews to entire months from previous years. Climo will bring the 2023 number way down the 2nd half of the month.

Beautiful sunny day. High of 80F. Not a drop.

Get rid of this humidity already. Tired of running the ac

I haven’t had the ac on since Thursday evening.

Foggy right now, but it’s been coming in waves. At times it’s thin and you can see mostly blue sky through it.

0.40” last night and a low of 64°.

Hail core south of you maybe?

Asphalt prints and bottles all over the lawn. You hate to see it.

Lets get some leaves to rip down and embed in the asphalt. 

Acorn filled like rumble strips.

They’re about to get dumped on by that storm . I thought it would miss but it’s heading right at us here 

Bad karma. Should’ve offered them tap water.

were you able to unstick the sheets from your fanny this morning?

way too dewey for me to open 'em up 

Turned the ac off before bed. Hate that thing. I rarely sweat even in 90/75.

Has to be in the 50s for me lol. Another Miami like night. 

That’s borderline stove weather for me. I’m turning into a reptile.

Too hot for that

Colder out than in. Lol

Still overcast and 67° here at 9am.

Low 64.9°

Windows wide open again. It’s nice to really cool the house off again.  Still overcast and wet after a brief storm last night. Only had 0.06”.

Nice. This is how this orchard grafts. I didn’t realize it could be done on such a large limb. 
 

Those are bark grafts. You slip the bark when the sap gets flowing, cut a wedge into your scion, and then slide it in and make sure you have good cambium contact. Usually they graft 2 or 3 pieces on and keep the most vigorous one, but maybe they’re going for something different there? All of the apple and pear grafts I’ve done are whip and tongue on single rootstocks. 

There’s lots of different ways to graft, but in most cases you want the sap flowing in your rootstock and then you graft a dormant scion onto that. That way the rootstock is ready to go and pushes the growth through the scion wood.

I field grafted a few pawpaws this year, but they’re a little finicky. They prefer consistent temps around 80° to graft and callous off whereas apples are early spring. Middle pic is actually a cleft graft since it was a little too low to get a good whip and tongue on there.

@dendriteI’m watching a short doc about an apple orchard in Woodstock, VT. They are showing all the care they do with the trees throughout the year. They just showed the grafting process. Have you ever done any grafting with your trees?

I did these last spring. Antonovka rootstock.
