News From the Farm

 

 

04/09/18 – Our spring weather this year has not been conducive to growing berries, 70s daytime 20s night time ( they are confused ). 

We have kept our rotating trellis berries laying on the ground with the winter blankets in place.  Some of our non trellis berries have overhead sprinklers and we have kept them running to keep a coating of ice on the vines. 

Blackberries now have bloom buds but not yet open.  One variety of blueberries are in full bloom.

I guess we need to call in a helicopter to warm things up. Our berry season normally starts the last week of May – first week of June.

We will keep you posted how our frost freeze protection is working.

 

 

See You at the Farm!
