What's happening in Lane County, Oregon:

More rain.
Strawberry season has started.
The orange fungus, Pacific coast
cedar rust has been harsh on bartlett,
comice, bosc pears;  serviceberry and
quince plants this wet year.
Cole crops doing OK;  the warm season
plants;  it just depends on when they
were planted as to how well they are
doing.  Early plantings are thriving,
late plantings are very slow to grow.
Strawberries - OK so far.
Cherries - poor pollination
Pears - hit by fungus.
Apples - huge crop - with apple scab.
Blueberries - looks medium to very
good but seeing quite a bit of
freeze and tip damage.
Raspberry and blackberry - looks like an
excellent crop.

Some flea beetle and cucumber beetle damage.
This week the leaf rollers started
inflicting damage to filbert and orchard crops.
