Little fiddly chores

Gooseberry cuttings

Drizzly, scattered snow-showers...a good day to do little fiddly chores.

I squished some persimmons for seeds and ended up with 194 grams. I am soaking some seed-nuts preparing to stratify them. I cut and stuck some gooseberry cuttings. I will put them in a place where the run-off from a roof hits the pot and leave them alone until mid-spring.

I spent an hour chamfering the insides of small, brass cylinders and refilling them.

The weather tomorrow is expected to be better.

Cutting to the chase, I did some research on pellets and learned I could spent most of the upcoming year just testing different ones. As an short example, the brand that the first part of the name could remind you of Easter has 2 locally available options. One is 500 rounds of "hollow point" for under $7 while the standard pellets are 400 for almost $13. I bought the 500 rounds choice because I'm obviously a cheapskate. Actually I'm just hoping for a bit of guidance.
