I may have overdone it this time. I told Bill that I can always give extras away to friends and family.

The Grow the Change blog had the brilliant recommendation to dry ground cherries - she says they are similar to raisins. Now this I have to try!

I haven't even begun to think about herbs yet.
On Sunday I am going to a heirloom apple grafting seminar at Garfield Farm (http://www.garfieldfarm.org/) - I have never been to this farm museum but I am greatly looking forward to seeing it and learning how to graft. The instructor specializes in heirloom trees in Southern Wisc! I look forward to meeting him!

Oh, I think I may have you beat on tomatoes. I just planteded 60- 9 varieties, and my garden partner is starting 6 other varieties. I have 6 varieties of peppers and eggplants started as well as my broccoli.
It looks like you have a great variety.

Ooooh! We went to an apple grafting workshop at the Iowa arboretum 2 years ago. All 10 of our grafts took! We had expected 50% success rate according to the instructor. Unfortunately, we put them into containers because they were small, and this year we forgot to bring in the containers. I hope at least some of them leaf out this spring and that they didn't all die of cold in the containers...
Hi Judy - You do have me beat! I look forward to following your progress!
Claire - grafting is hard at first, but I did get the hang of it. The trick is in the right knife! I'll do a post on it tonight. Good luck with your trees - I hope they survived! Especially since all of your grafts took - I am hoping for 50% but we'll see.
