New buds and blooms

I have a few minutes either in the morning or in the evening to walk around and check the trees. I've noticed the French Prune, Barlett Pear, and Keifer Pear leafing out so far. The Panamint Nectarine and the Muir Peach are both showing signs of budding. The Eishemer apple is in bloom as is the Ranger peach and the Golden Apples. I'm watching the Imperial Prune, Santa Rosa Plum, and the new Golden Delicious Apples intently to see when they will start to show the beginning signs of budding. The buds on both the walnuts are fuzzing up and opening so I'm anticipating their bloom soon. The grapes are all leafing out and we're checking to see how this year's crop of boysenberry will do. The peas are starting to grow and curl around any grass stalks in the way and the favas are starting to kick into gear. Spinach is ready to start a long season of harvesting (hopefully) and all the brussel sprouts are gaining height. Most things are growing like mad and the almond in the front is showing promise. We'll see how this spring treats it to see if it will actually give us an abundant crop this year.
