The small narcissus are always first. I think that some were lost last year - I remember more. Still, great to see them blooming.
The Aprium is one of the first trees to bloom in my yard - right there with the peaches. I think this stage is called "First Pink"
And here are the early peach buds. The bags at least didnt kill the tree. Now to see what happens with our nemesis, leaf curl.
The first of the 2 newest additions, "Surefire" sour cherry. Arrived Tuesday, kept in a cool place overnight, and planted when I came home from work Wednesday (last night). This might have been the only rain-free window of time for a week, so it worked out perfectly.
The other of the 2 newest additions, the multigraft asian pair. I STILL don't know which of the 4 potential varieties are represented on the 3 grafts. The label states "Varieties from bottom to top: Shinseiki, Yonashi, Hamese, Mishirasu". I studied the grafts and decided that one bud did not take, second from bottom, which would be Yonashi. That would leave the 2 smaller, yellow, sweet varieties, one for early aug and one for late Aug, and the large russeted Mishirasu, a September bearing variety. Any combination would be fine. Probably 3 years to know for sure.
