have any of our gardening folk successfully grafted a fruit tree in the last year. When did you do it and what fruit was it?

Nice Carrot!!! 
Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food - Frank A. Clark.
That carrot came out of the ground exactly as you see it. It has not been modified or enhanced in any way - either digitally or analogue - or by means of soil enrichment.
It has a certain innocence about it which would not offend young maiden gardeners, don't you think!. Had I dug up a whole drill of carrots looking like this I would have questioned what the variety was. Maybe you could suggest a name for a variety of carrots that display this boyish physique.
I never did eat it, but wrapped it up in newspaper and gave it to my brother-in-law who rolled around laughing at it.
