Enjoy

Great weather.
Berries are ripening very nicely.
Fruit sizing.

Irrigation needed again.
Lawns going dormant if not watered.

Another great day

Seeds planted two weeks a go are FINALLY coming up.
Tomatoes are either growing good or not.
Other warm season plants - slow.
FIRST SPOTTED WING DROSOPHILA FOUND TODAY IN RASPBERRIES - BE AWARE.
Tomatoes showing very curled leaves = either weed and feed or Garlon applied nearby or a virus called tomato curly leaf virus.

Sunnnnnnnnny!!!

The weather was fabulous today. I got a slight sun burn. Yeah.
Cherries split from the rain. Cherry season has been shortened. Strawberry and raspberry crop - rain has shortened the crop.
Garlic is ready to harvest. The rain will make tomato pollination longer as it washed a lot of pollen away.
