Patrick and Wendy's blog. 2015 Kite Makers Conference →. April 4, 2015. It’s been a while since our last visit to Vancouver, B.C. And since Vilde had never been to Canada, we decided to take a weekend trip up north. The weather was not very cooperative. As it turns out, Seattle is a fair bit drier than Vancouver, thanks to the rain shadow effect of the Olympic mountains (37″ annual precipitation versus 46″). With its outstanding collection of Pacific Northwest tribal artefacts. More photos …. You are com...

The “ Fort Worden Conference. 8221; was not at Fort Worden this year – instead it was held at the Warm Springs Center near Camano Island. My big project for this year was a modern rendition of Hargrave’s. Classic box kite. Wendy and I collaborated on the design for this one – I think it turned out rather well. I still had enough time left to make a small Japanese Tosa kite with a funky printed fabric. Beekeeping Nat...

Bud Grafting Success | thirteenvegetables

Patrick and Wendy's blog. Garden Giants V →. April 11, 2015. The success rate of bud grafting is generally higher and it is the preferred technique in commercial grafting. The downside is that you need to wait until the following year to see the bud begin to grow. I was dubious about this technique, but I’m happy to note that my bud grafts from last year are leafing out. Here’s a nice example of an inverted T bud graft of plum on plum:.

Patrick and Wendy's blog. October 16, 2015. Parsnips took the garden giant crown for the second year running; but this time not because of impressive height, but due to the size of the root. I could hardly believe how big this thing was when I dug it … Continue reading →. April 11, 2015. April 6, 2015. 2015 Kite Makers Conference. April 5, 2015.

Patrick and Wendy's blog. Newer posts →. August 27, 2014. Thanks to the warm summer, we have had a decent crop of Tettnang hops. For the first time this year. We decided to use it to brew a wet hops IPA. This is going to be a seriously hoppy beer, using 2 pounds of fresh hops in the brew and another pound for dry hopping (i.e. adding to the secondary ferment without boiling it). June 5, 2014. Every year in the garden is different. Last year the favas. June 1, 2014. May 28, 2014. This Memorial Day weekend...

DIY Grafting Wax | thirteenvegetables
https://thirteenvegetables.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/diy-grafting-wax
Patrick and Wendy's blog. 2015 Kite Makers Conference. Bud Grafting Success →. April 6, 2015. When I graft, I am usually bark grafting. I’ve tried latex paint and commercial grafting wax, but had issues with both of these. I think I’ve finally hit on a good solution: a soft grafting wax that can be slathered on like butter. It’s easy to apply, doesn’t stick to your fingers, doesn’t wick into the graft union, and doesn’t need to be removed like tape. This entry was posted in Fruit Trees. Notify me of new ...
