This was rewarding to see today!
Not only do animals come out of hibernation early in the spring, but the plants wake up too and begin to bud and flower after being dormant over the winter months.
Now this may not look like much to you, but look closer at the part that I've circled in yellow! That is why I was excited! I ran over right away to see what was going on, and it was very encouraging!
THE VLOG OF MY FIND!
I figured I would record a short video to document the event. I love looking back on stuff like this anyway and thought that those of you who enjoy the videos would appreciate this. It is encouraging to see.
FIRST COMES THE FLOWERS, THEN COMES THE FRUIT
As I shared a while ago I had grafted some plum scions onto the wild plum trees here when I first moved down. This way I could keep them alive and have them available when I got going down here.
It looks my graft was successful and it made it through another winter, because the branch that I grafted is now in full bloom. If these blossoms get pollinated and the fruit begins to grow, I could be just months away from literally tasting the fruit of my labor! I love doing things where the byproduct or end result is food! It just makes so much sense!
Grafting is just one of those life skills that can be rather simple to learn and has a lot of potential. I'm still learning and experimenting, but I'm at least figuring it out! Thanks for celebrating with me!
As always, I'm
