ORCHARD AT FULL BLOOM – PLANTING MORE TREES

The HOT!! weather has brought all the apple varieties into bloom at almost the same time.  Usually the different varieties stretch out over  a week or more, but not this year.

We are at peak bloom now and we will begin to see petal fall by the weekend.  Our bumble bees come tomorrow, but there have been lots of native honey bees and bumble bees out working yesterday.

The “crew” has been busy planting more trees and putting down more irrigation lines.  40 more trees come tomorrow.
