Cabbage loopers are out in big numbers. See the following web site:

With the extra heat the past two weeks and especially this weekend, berries, tree fruits, nuts and vegetables will need additional water.
Dig a hole 18 inches deep for tree fruits and berries and 12 inches for vegetables, grab the soil. If the soil falls apart; time to water; if the soil hold together and is moist when squished with the hand - all is good.
Most lawns are in the "brown mode" - just wait until September when the rains start
Second crop of figs is sizing nicely.
Gravensteins apples - mostly done. Peaches - good year. Italian prunes - ready this weekend or early next week. Bartlett pears - still green on the tree but starting to turn color.
