Grafted the Niedzwetzkyana onto M-27 root stock and planted it at the end of the espalier.
Grafted the Limon scion onto the pear tree in the front yard. It was hard to secure the two branches together while on the ladder and I don't know if the graft will take.
Need to buy real grafting equipment for next year.

Sunny this morning, but overcast for most of the day.
