Had a chance to get out in the nursery beds for a few minutes 
yesterday morning.
I grafted some walnuts with a visiting veterinary student on 
Thursday; the ones that were done as a 3-flap graft are bleeding like 
crazy, despite a couple of 'girdling' cuts below the graft - I 
suspect that NONE of these will take, based on previous experience.
Guess I should have followed Richard O'Barr's recommendation to cut 
these rootstocks off and wait until they stopped bleeding to graft - 
but lack of patience reared its ugly head again, and it looks like 
it'll cost me.  Again.
None of the 'sap-stopper' bark grafts are bleeding excessively.
