Today I planted my second row of peas. 3 ounces of Penelope Peas.
I planted my second grape vine.

| It already has a tiny sprout |
These are the Tickled Pink variety from Gurney's.
They come bareroot packed in wet straw.
When you propagate seedless grapes, you have to root cuttings of vine. These sections were cut in the winter of 2024-25 and rooted in a year ago. They are allowed to grow and then trimmed back in autumn and sent out before they break dormancy.
The Vitis Himrod White Seedless Grape arrived almost two weeks ago and has already begun to send out some growth tips.
Right now it looks like I have planted a small selection of sticks.

| Triple Crown Thornless Blackberries |
The thornless blackberries in the other bed are putting out some green leaves.
The Bushel and Berry Raspberry Shortcake Bush I got last year has put out a lot of green leaves. I kept it in this warm sunny spot on the deck and it loves it. Soon I will move it back out to the raised bed garden.
The fruit trees are breaking dormancy. I could almost sit and watch the apple buds turn from fuzzy little silver tips to the promise of flowers, but the pear tree is ahead of them.
It has been a really fruity day.
