The verdict is not out yet on this year’s crop. Peaches are starting to grow and some varieties are shedding fruit that have been cold damaged. It will be another week or two before we can put a fair estimate on this crop. Some varieties appear to be fine. The best varieties seem to be Summerprince, Contender, Julyprince, Scarletprince, Ruston Red, Flameprince, and September Sun. We have planted tomatoes and sweet corn. Next week we will probably plant cucumbers, squash, and watermelons. Apples bloomed after the cold, so they are fine. Check back later for more farm news.
