I'm waiting on Menards to ship some corrugated metal sheets before I rebuild my beds.

Probably not. Most local places carry Burpee seeds or the like. Friend of mine recommended rareseeds.com if you're looking for older, heirloom varieties.

I gathered up all our seeds and soil and have had a date with Miss Weeze all week to plant, but we just can't seem to get it done.
I can skate for another week, but we really need to get them in by this weekend. I still need to go pick up some herb seeds, too.

I do want to try my hand at grafting too. I was going to wait a bit longer to give it a try. The snow here just finally melted so I'm just getting things moving.

Cuttings are actually grafted on rootstock that's bred for specific areas.
What generally happens is that the roots from the grafted cultivar aren't strong enough, can't withstand the moisture, soil makeup, climate, etc. It's much akin to trying to introduce a Largemouth Bass to the Atlantic Ocean. What you CAN get away with, Mikey, is to graft your branch onto pretty much any kind of apple tree you already have growing. You can graft any number of species onto the same tree. The most I ever had was five types of apples on one tree. Here's another thing... Your apple trees you see grafted on root stock aren't normally grafted onto apple rootstock. In my area back home we used sickle pear rootstock because it was a wild rootstock that thrived in that area. Those trees grew anywhere, but were worthless for root production. So there's a lot of things you can do that'll work, Mikey. You just picked the one thing that's doomed. ![]() Ya know, if you can grow that thing out in a container with perfect soil and water, and the roots don't freeze and die this winter, you could take all kinds of grafts off it and put on other established trees. I have a book here somewhere, if I can find it I'll give you a holler. ![]()

I have Perique, Havanah 2000, San Andreas MX, and my own open-pollinated variety that comes from those 3 strains.
