2024 season is off to a good start.  The pictures of some of the 84 year old Macintosh and newer Zestars tell the story and show a very good bloom.   Our bumblebees went out in the orchard on May 8 and they have been busy even when it was cold and wet.   Yesterday with full sun all day and temperatures close to 60 was perfect for good pollination.

Jilly passed away last year in February at age 15.  Janey our new Shih Tzu enjoys running in the orchard and trying to catch any passing cars.

We are celebrating our 25’th year back in Vermont.  The renovation work on the red farmhouse is almost complete.  Current weather forecasts do not show freezing temperatures.  I will post periodically as the season progresses.  Looking for a much improved crop over last year.
