About half the apples trees have been pruned.
This is due to the early warmth, causing bud break.
The apple bloom is at about half right now.
The blueberries are at about
10% bloom. It might be an early season. Overall
the blueberry crop looks great. Looks like a
good apple crop, just not the bumper crop
like last year. It is what it is as they say.
Looking for part-time summer workers, if you know
of anyone looking for outdoor work. We work only
weekdays and until 2:00 p.m. See more information
