Good weather continues.
Irrigate as needed, just dig holes in
the soil, grab dirt and see if it is dry, moist or wet.
Thinned apples looking good.
Spotted wing drosophila - bad this year. 
For info - go to:  osu swd.
General insects and diseases low right now.
Garlic being harvested, dry for a week in a shaded area.
Zucchini - exploding.
Cucumber and melons - barely growing.
Celery turning green - slow growing.
Peas - eaten bu the deer, grrrrrrrrr.
Basil - coming up.

A great article in the the new July 2012,
Agricultural Research magazine:
   http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/ar/

- on the big bee colony collapse.
They looked at eleven potential causes.
They researched many causes that were
being said to cause the colony collapse.

Insects:  Spotted wing drosophila - hitting strawberries,
cherries and now Marionberries.  Got to:  OSU SWD 
for trap and control info.

Varigated cutworms - below normal.
12 spot beetle - average or below.
Codling moth - expecting nay day.

Peas.
Beans - looking good.
Zucchini - small and perfect.
Raspberries and blueberries.
Lots of chard, salad mix, beet leaves.
Cole crops really looking good.
Celery - nice green.
Melon seed - very slow still.
Apples sizing nicely.

Great 4th.
Great weather for Oregon.
Cherries - good crop.
Straw - nearing end.  Raspberry and
blueberries - good crops.
Grapes - looks good.
Grass seed - being cut.
Late spring hay - being cut and dried.
Hot weather usually means more insects.

Cherries and blueberries ready.
Garden looking good.  Nice garlic and onions.
Zucchini - growing nicely.
Some beans near bloom.
Celery turing green - finally.
Tomatoes - bad early blight, use
copper or Serenade to control.
Bad me - finally thinned my apples - the gravensteins
were within a few days of pushing  each cluster off.
Summer prune the long sucker growth in the center
of the tree --just pull off the suckers and they come
right off the branch easily.  I will try and get some pixs.

Great gardening and growing weekend.
Beans - doing well.  Onions and garlic -
 good other than rust.
Strawberry - June bears nearly done. Raspberries
coming on well.  Watch out of spotted wing drosophila,
put up the vinegar traps - go to: 
OSU SWD on how to build the traps.
Peas - up and down.  Cole crops - love the weather
except for bolting due to the hot and cold extremes.
Insects in general, down in populations so
far, just wait for he warmer weather.
