The grapes are happy this year, we started off with about three little sprigs from my father-n-laws plants,& now are growing like crazy ,they are the dark concord grapes & make the best jelly!
the fig bush was here when we moved her 20 years ago, the neighbor told us it was a Japanese fig, the get the size of a golf ball, no kidding! just look at the size of those leaves! if the birds don't get them I' ll get a picture when they get bigger LOL
Blue berries! Blueberries!these will get the size of a dime , they've gotten so big through the years they desperately need moving, they are loaded down this year,
the sweet smell of Honeysuckle is every where
We have Mimosas, & yes they are pretty but not when they take over the yard LoLmy Lillie's are so thick, there's at least 30 to a cluster, way too many, sooo guess what I'll be doing soon LOL these are more pink/yellow than what's showing in the picture & on futher down is a variety of different colors
I forget what these bushes are called, I got them from my mom a few years ago & have been babying them for the last five years or so, they will be full of thick white blooms soon
I hope I will be able to get to everything before the birds do this year, they are smart! a few years a go we were getting in the car headed toward town when we noticed the grapes were ripe, humm gotta pick those as soon as we get back, we wouldn't you know it! a little birdie set out to tell all his friends LOL there wasn't one grape left when we got back & we weren't gone longer than an hour, no kidding! LOL

Love your signs of spring.. My late husband and I once owned three acres of blueberries. That was work..but we had all the berries we wanted to eat and bake with.
Your grapes and blueberries are so promising! And figs!! I had one blueberry bush and it winter killed. Then I bought six more last spring and only two survived. Unwilling to give up, I bought a few more this spring. I've got them in a fenced-in garden now and we've had a ton of rain. They're looking great. Helps not to have the bunny competition.
Enjoy your wonderful fruit!!
