To the Agricultural Question

[Bugbear]

* Maize project report, "Continuing an Ancient Tradition," being posted at end. *

Speaking of agriculture, did you get those citrus trees grafted?

Yes, I'm grafting citrus this year. I'm also air layering off several trees from a dwarfing root stock (flying dragon). It's an approach graft/ air layer/ coppicing experiment.

I'm also doing the same with several sour orange trees for root stocks. I've been focused on that lately.

And as I said in the other thread, I am mostly working with desert and native crops, but the property came with the old citrus trees.

Unfortunatly, for the coppicing and pruning work, every thing here has spines, thorns and burs.

* Technically I suppose the work with the fruit and other trees would be considered Pomology and arboriculture, where all of what I am doing out here would be considered Horticulture, or specifically Home Horticulture, rather than the narrower field of agriculture; bla bla bla.
