The Summer Keeps Coming!!

The heat has been on full blast. Other than the freak thunderstorm last weekend, it's been one of the hottest and driest summers on record. That means our apricots, peaches, figs, plums, kiwis, berries, and all our other trees are loaded with fruit. We have our largest setting of apricots ever, with fruit as large as apples!! Unfortunately we also lost three apricot trees to crown rot and Eutypa die back.

We also are very excited for our very first crop of fuzzy kiwi!!! It is a good showing and we can't wait to try them at the end of August.

Our water situation is holding steady during this "drought" so we can continue to keep our trees as happy as we can. Still, we are feeling the pinch and seeing the stress in our landscape.
