@theman7676---I actually may get some time to work on that thread while I recover from surgery later this month. Should be home a day or two after admission & back to normal in 6-8 weeks. I figure I am already missing my gallbladder, a vein in my arm, and 2 disks in my spine...who needs their uterus??  I just look forward to feeling better. 
    Anyway...I DID record a video yesterday of my home winemaking (chocolate raspberry chambourcin) & I just have to find the download cord so I can transfer it from my phone to computer because file it to large to send it...go figure!  Dropping your yogurt cultures in the mail on Monday, with instructions (made another new batch & dried that for you).

So, the in keeping with this thread, other things I grow are HOME FERMENTATION RELATED CULTURES....kombucha, milk kefir, dairy kefir, mother of vinegar, and a few yogurt strains.  My plants and compost also benefit from these fermentation by-products, because I use whey in my plant water and make sure any excess kefir/kombucha go in compost.  My compost pile is happy, happy, happy.

My first year of growing (attempting) edible landscaping.  I am already harvesting from some of the plants.

Apples, dwarfing root stock, cut off knee high at planting, Challis, Jonagold, Rome & Honeycrisp

Mulberry, one white and one black

All-N-One Almond

Dwarf sweet cherry

Lingonberries

Low bush blueberries

Bamboo

Yellowhorn tree

Nigronne and Kadota fig

Honeyberries

Pink seedless grape

white and yellow Alpine Strawberries

That's all I can think of right now.

I already have a two page list of "wants" for more edibles to grow.

All-N-One almond is what they call the hardy almond tree that I purchased....kin to a peach.  I told my son, I hope he enjoys the fruits of my labor because I may be dead by the time any of this produces fruit but I guess we have to start sometime.

I have never ate a lingonberry but they say they are like cranberries only sweeter.  I started with two lingonberry plants and one didn't make it so I will purchase another in the spring......glad to hear you like the taste.

I have two varieties of honeyberry plants, must have two to produce fruit.  This is their first year, as everything I have is....they are alive but I can't say they have taken off. 

Hopefully next year everything will take off and flourish.

Happy to say I have got several Nigronne figs from my first year fig tree and they are delicious!

I see that several people are growing hardy kiwi.  I am building something for them to grow on today and am going to purchase two in spring....I'm thinking Issai female and a hardy male.  Any tips for growing hardy kiwi?

Caneyscud:  I've never grafted anything but I would like to try.  I'd take the scion of your three varieties......do we try that in the spring?  If I have anything on my list that you would like to try, let me know.

@Caney....I have failed at rhubarb for THREE YEARS now.  I know it can be grown in our climate, I grew up with it. I've done the soil prep, local Ag office even confirmed it was appropriate.   It is interesting though, I have talked to many people who have said that they cannot get rhubarb to grow around here now.   I'm going to source several different varieties from DoubleA when it is available and see if anything will take off.   When I learn to graft, I may hit you up for some of that apple scion, if you don't care. What root stock would you recommend for the grafting??  I'm going to learn this winter!

Years ago when I did my trees, the only ones I could find to buy in small quantities was the M and MM series.  I wanted very small trees that I was going to train into cordons or as low horizontal espalliers.  To save $$ (newly married) I just bought 4 rootstocks and 4 scions.  I was going to grow those a year or two (until I could get enough scion, the buy a bunch more rootstocks.  The buying of the bunch more rootstocks never happened as I was having to travel too much to deal with fruit trees.   I had to give up bonsai at the time also.  I selected M27 rootstock because of  the very dwarfing effects.  I might have selected G65 if it had been available.  Google the different rootstock comparisons to select the eventual size of tree you want as well as important disease resistance.  The M27 is not supposed to be resistant to Fire Blight, but even in a yard that has a pear tree that has Fire Blight in some years, the apples have not had Fire Blight.  They all have leaf spot, especially since I've given up actually being able to harvest any fruit because of squirrels and have not sprayed in years. 

Grafting is not hard - just follow directions.  All four of my grafts took, but the next year something chewed the scion off the graft of one tree - so I am left with three.  Some debate is done over when best to graft.  But most say just before the flower buds on the rootstock are about to open.  Active growth period is much preferred.  You can cut the scion as soon as the tree goes dormant and store storing them in damp sawdust, moss or wrapped in plastic. Keep the scions over the winter in a cool damp place.  

There are also some interstem/rootstock combinations that are for specific purposes, but that was far too much trouble for me.  I selected the spur type apples for scion, intending to do cardons.

Ok I'll try to list all of the edibles I grow.

i tried growing the self fertile issai cultivar a couple years ago, i planted it in full sun per nursery instructions (most nurseries rec full sun), it seemed like it didnt take full sun very well (maybe its just this variety and/or at least while young), i shaded it then it took off and grew a couple feet, but then died over a cold zone 5 winter (its one of the least hardy of the hardy kiwis). ive been growing arctic (a. kolomikta, a different species) the last 2 years, they seem very tempermental (my original male died and female didnt do much the first year but did better year 2) and also sun sensitive but are surviving now, no fruit yet

My female kolomikta kicked the bucket, but the male is beautiful and thriving. Also have Issai and it is fruiting for me. Nice sweet fruits very tasty. Mnvikes is correct. My kiwi does not like full sun, they get a semi shady area and grow on my fence. They can get a little out of hand if not pruned.
