How's everybody doing?

All the tulips are up and some are even stating to die-back

White (butterfly) ginger culm has not come up yet ;-(

- Cherry Trees (Compact Stella, Governor Wood, Tartarian) are all pushing buds.

- Figs (TN Mtn, Mystery-X) pushing buds.

Black Jack does not appear to have survived (probably too wet of a location)

Winter cuttings (Chicago, Jacks 1/4 Pounder, Quantico, Marseilles) are pushing buds and leafing out, modest root development. Probably pushing upwards of 70% success this year!

Cuttings takes two weeks ago are still green and limber and pushing buds, no signs of rooting, ret.

- Pomegranate

(Plantation Sweet) Still no signs of life but the shoots are limber/pliant.

- Blueberries ( Duke, BlueCrop, Elliott ) are going crazy!

- Elderberry (last season's cuttings)

Those planted directly in the ground are doing great!

Those cuttings in nursery pots are looking pretty bad.

- Hops Rizomes

2 out of the 4 varieties are already coming up healthy, 3 inches of new growth yesterday on the Cascade hops!
