Buds breaking!

in permaculture •  6 years ago 

Not 10 minutes ago I wrote a comment to @nateonsteemit that we had fresh snow today so spring will have to wait a couple of months.

Then I went to water the flowers we have in an unheated space. We also have a few cuttings just stuck in a box with some soil and perlite, hopefully they'll root this year.

I was surprised to find out that the buds on the cuttings have broke and a now green leaves are showing!

So spring seems to be more impatient than I thought!

What cuttings are they? They look great!

Honeyberry, but not sure the exact type. I think it's Lonicera Kamchatka. Not at all known plant around here.

YES!

Spring has sprung in the snow of Bulgaria! I've been observing buds as well. God, I pray for a short winter. We've had plenty of rain, which is awesome, and I'm anxious for April's storms to come fill my swales! Good luck flooding my chickens this time, mother nature!

What cuttings are those? Figs?

Wow that's a lot of information in one comment! Last year your hens were flooded??

Those are honeyberry cuttings, this plant is not known around here and we're trying to do an edible hedge with it.

Last fall we got a flooding rain 10cm in 3 days and a final day with about 12cm in a day. It flooded the bedding out of the chicken runs.

I've not heard of honeyberry, but an edible hedge sounds terrific! :)
