If you are planning to graft this spring, you will actually gain a year over 
waiting to do summer budding.  I've grafted plums and they do fine, but not 
peaches.  Well, I've grafted plum onto peach, so I was close.  You can also 
do chip buds in the spring, you just wait for the bark to slip before doing 
them.  It's only a matter of a few weeks later than when you can start 
grafting.      Donna
