It has been winter here, much like all of Canada in February. But this weekend we are starting to see the spring come out again. Snowdrops have been out beween all the snowfalls. The snow blower saw lots of use up to about ten days ago. Now the remnants of snow are harder to find. Should get above ten degrees this weekend both days. I still have 22 sticks in the ground. None have budded of course. Many are canted at strange angles. Some may have been pulled out and stuck back into the soil. Those would be pretty dead.

The pruning is done and one dormant spray. The prune plum has a dead core on the largest branch pruned. So it is near the end of it's life.
