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!

Wow That's amazing. I really enjoy the beauty of the natural life that you always share. May be always happy for you and family @papa-pepper.
Thank you my friend!
You are welcome my friend 😊.
Great video and photography. I never thought that plants go for hibernation, but yes truly they go for hibernation in winters and are back to life in spring
Yay! That's so exciting! 😄🌼 I love seeing photos or posts like this. Spring is my fave season. We may not have cherry blossoms but just photos of fruits blooming kind of similar to that is 🖒. 🌼🌸
beautiful flowers and nice scenery @papa-pepper
That's so cool that the graft was the first branch to flower. Plums are on their way! Beautiful macro shots of the buds!
I tried some macro of a peach tree blossoming too. Might post tomorrow. Good color contrast against the sky on them, so we will see.
please advise @papa-pepper

What an interesting article, I loved it, my dad used to make grafts of mangoes, roses and we had a lot of fun, nature is a patient mother, she always teaches us and surprises us, success, with your grafts and greetings from Venezuela !!
Cool, I do not think that my dad ever grafted, but my children have a dad who does!
That would be a lot of plums soon, for sure you will keep coming back to see the flowers progress. Happy homesteaders!
you are incredible papa ,,, hopefully the next experiment can be successful always ,,,

So far so good! More experiments to come!

@papa-pepper wowwww really amazing post
The flowers of the plum tree looks so beautiful...
Did you know Plum trees are grown on every continent except Antarctica were are you from @papa-pepper
Wow that's so cool about the grafting!!
the flower is like the cherry flower..beautiful..i can feel the happiness behind your eyes..i think it is the best feeling we can have as a feedback after doing our best :)
That's so cool! Your labor and care have flowered into something that will nurture your family. Congratulations on those grafts blooming!
You should get a good crop with that many flowers as long as the bees are around, otherwise, you might have to do the job yourself, with the aid of a hens feather.
It's really fun for us,Welcome your hard work results have started to look,Stay waiting for his time for you to get perfect results.
Good luck @papa-pepper.
WoW! It was Kool. What type of fruit it was?
Very exciting to see your grafts coming alive.
Mind if I share something I am little proud of?
This spring, I made my first graft. It was on my apple tree.
I did cut off that scion a bit shorter after I took this photo, hoping that might support the buds better.
Not saying I did the greatest job, but I gave it my best effort.
Anyways, just wanted to share, because I think growing fruit trees is a really fun hobby, and I simply love the concept of growing my own healthy sweet fruits at home.
If anyone is interested in getting started grafting your own fruit tree from scratch, I made a post about my recent experience, you might appreciate called So you think you can grow an apple tree? There will be a follow-up post soon about planting a new apple tree, and the graft I made pictured above.
@creativetruth
Hope you don't mind the shameless plug. I think it is related though.
Congrats! That has to feel awesome to watch. We’re hoping for the blooms this week - we’re in Japan waiting for the cherry blossoms. Crossed fingers.
I have heard about grafting and have some knowledge of it. Well done Papa. This is really nice. I celebrate with you. Can't wait to see them too.
I think you're a hot papa-pepper, patient enough and reaping your patient fruit soon
That's awesome @papa-pepper, I hope your trees are very fruitful. The blossoms are gorgeous, check out how pretty my dads pink spire crab apple blossoms are. Unfortunately their fruit will be too bitter even to make jam or cidar but the blossoms are beautiful they only last a few days to a week but I enjoy it during this time, they have sort of a lavender scent to them, similar. Thank you for posting, Yay spring is upon us!
Wow, this is beautiful
This is so exciting, @papa-pepper! I love to see fruits of labour! This may be the first year I actually see grapes! I have loads of mangoes for the first time too! And we have been enjoying our first lemons for the past few weeks. It is such a trill to get to eat what you have nurtured from small trees and plants!
