2012 has brought the earliest spring buds on record. Dad says the earliest he remembers full bloom was April 17th. Looks like it will be around the same this year, although for a time it looked like they'd be out full in March. There is a little damage from a frost at the end
March, but so far doesn't look like it will be devastating to the crop. Getting ready to call in the bees
as this weekend weather has been warm 15 to 20 degrees; some sunshine, some rain and dandelions
are popping up everywhere.
2001 orchard. Looking good after a dramatic pruning this winter.
and The East Hill
On my walk yesterday saw the Trout Lillys out on the trail around the pond.
And lots of ducks on the pond, trust me, they are there even though you can't see them here.
They're back! and lots of action too, Loving those dandelions and lillys ...
