Desertjed I am in Happy camp bout 35 miles south of the Oregon border. The nearest town of size would be Yreka, 70 miles east of me. We could use some desert atmosphere round here right now, to melt the snow and get on with the gardening. Don’t really know where Rosemond is but might look it up. Sorry folks bout no comments here but I have to take these things real slow so I don’t get confused lol. Gonna catch up on some of the comments here. Good to talk to ya desertjed.

The “pulse” button is a wonderful took on this site. It will help you keep up with threads … :-)

Yes I “discovered” it last nite. Was afraid to click it at first, thought the screen might start shaking lol. No seriously I didn’t have a clue bout the features but pulse is really helpful. And the few blogs I got to last night were certainly interesting. There are alotof talented people I can see. I think I can “glean” alot of ideas from here, pun intended.

Well thank you, thank you, thank you. lol It is getting to be some spring like weather, know it ain’t over yet, but spring is creeping up the other side of the hill and I can hardly wait.
I guess the only real project I have done is to plant my Gravenstien apple tree the other day. But I’m wondering if I didn’t mess up some. I was reading in an old book to cut back all the branches by at least a third. The tree was about eight feet tall, a good sized tree. So I cut them all and then I read that I should leave the main leader. It is still the tallest but what do you think people? I’d appreciate you advise, belatedly of course. lol I am new to fruit trees somewhat, had a little experience but definately in a learning curve. Some day if I get some pics I might make up a blog on my trees and some cuttings I have made and that I will be planting this year. Have a good week people.

my advice? Well, you can’t glue them back on .. so I’d say “wait and see what happens” and you’ll know for your next tree!! :D

Well that’s how I see it too. Most(not all) things grow back eventually even if you butcher them badly, plants are pretty muchly resiliant. Thanks for the reply.
