My backyard crabapple is about to pop.
They start out this beautiful deep red color and end up pink.

Took my CH Fig out of deep protection today… its alive… always good to see that. Found small green buds on some of those stumps… and scratched to reveal a little green on the others.
I can still protect it from lighter frosts easily.
AU Rosa… i see several little plums set on it.
We have a 25F in the forecast this next Monday night. It is usually 3-4 degrees warmer here than they predict. Hope a few plums make it this year…
My Lapins cherry is finally blooming.

Finger lime is flowering and my figs are looking good. I am also happy with the growth of my Marumi kumquat.

Yoshino Cherry
Garden Delight mini nectarine
Rio Oso Gem
A seedling peach that has the latest and most protracted bloom of any peach or nectarine I grow. It was also the only one that set fruit last year without any frost protection. If it does well this year I will give it a name.
Camp Joy Sauna grafted to this seedling peach, about to split shucks.
28f forecasted tonight. I have chosen to not implement any freeze protection. Hopefully it doesnt get lower than that.

I’m in a weird little microclimate in the UK, and despite technically being zone 10a I have a ton of shade (in a valley just off chalk downs). No open blossoms yet, but here are some patio garden pictures from the ‘just waking up’ crew:
Swelling bud just below a graft on ‘Pitmaston Pineapple’ 
Likewise on ‘Spartan’
Very first hint of green on the youngest apple tree, my ‘Devonshire Quarrenden’
Sweet cherry ‘Stardust’ is getting going 
But it’s getting beaten to the chase by tart cherry ‘Morello’
Redcurrant - this was a NOID from the garden centre sale bin but I suspect it’s ‘Jonkheer van Tets’
Redcurrant ‘Red Lake’
The overachiever, pinkcurrant ‘Gloire de Sablons’ actually showing flower buds
And so is tayberry ‘Medana’
Raspberry ‘Valentina’, blackberry ‘Loch Maree’ and blackcurrant ‘Ben Sarek’
And honourable mention to a rescued ‘Brown Turkey’ fig that arrived as an unrooted half dead twig and has made it through its second winter with zero protection
