Plant them in their final location this fall after they go dormant is how I do it. Mine stay in rootmaker containers their first spring/summer after grafting to be babied in my yard that first summer. I plant them that first fall after they have survived the grafting process and gone dormant...
Since I went Primal/Paleo I do almost all of the cooking. started because I was really into finding recipes that were compliant and tasted good and I put a bunch of time into trying different recipes. I found out I really enjoy it and I find it relaxing and very satisfying and have become a...
