I had OK graft sucess (no failures-- yet) this spring, with late grafted 
apple & pear.  Weather has been mostly sunny, dry, and warm-hot.  Grafts 
have grown slower than usual.  Just couldn't water enough!  I'm seeing less 
scab sign though.

After I took a grafting class this spring, I tried grafting a couple of 
Meteor cherries when I go home from the class, and they are doing fine.  I 
think that the class was in late April, don't remember the exact date.
I had never had any success with my grafting or budding attempts in the last 
20+ years, so to have 4 of the 6 plants that I did in the class grow 
successfully (so far at least) and then to have the 2 cherries that I did on 
my own at home grow just as well is very encouraging.

And a reminder to everyone on the list--it really helps to mention where you 
are located and your growing zone, so that we can make better use of your 
messages, when you post something to this list.  I have noticed a number of 
messages lately signed by familiar names without any geographical 
information attached.
