Pete:
If you just give yourself a try and graft pome , pear plum or peach or apple first. They are the easiest ones to graft. Almost guaranteed that they will take. Once you get the hang of it, you can try citrus, persimmons and other hard to graft plants. Go to the internet and it will show you by diagram how to do it.
When you see a new buds coming out of your stick that you inserted into another plant what a great feeling you will have. And to think that it will bear flowers and fruit in the same year or spring you graft it, that's another wonderful feeling. It took me 4 years before I have the courage to do it but I did not know it is so easy like brushing your teeth.
I can graft a scionwood in less than 1 minute.

And thanks Frogg for your compliment.

a fruit stand alongside the highway.
Let me correct myself when I said 'highway'-
you can not interpret it as such like superhighway we have here in US.
The highway I am talking about is such that a 2-way road in the suburbs here in the US. There are many eating place, restaurants, food store, rice fields, fish ponds, trees, etc..... jotted along the 'highways'.
here's an example of such a 'restaurant':
