Well I've been doing a little work around the ol' garden.

And a lot of thinking.

Something I forgot to say in the 'security' post was that it really helps to always have SMALL versions of your prize mothers.

So sure, go ahead and grow yourself some mean trees to take cuttings off of, but keep a couple plants of each strain you can't afford to lose in small pots, clipped down short, that you can throw them all in the trunk in a rubbermaid tote and get them somewhere safe FAST.

I think that planning on only a single carload that you will be able to save is a good call... do you want to save a couple big trees, or 20 different strains?

Something to think about.
