The first freeze threat for this year’s peach crop will be on the morning of the 4th. Forecasts predict possible mid-twenties and calm winds. We are close to full bloom, which is of course more typical for mid to late March. We have added a third wind machine this year, so hopefully it will provide some added protection. However, this only helps a few degrees. No method of freeze protection is foolproof. We are almost finished pruning and most of the fertilizer has been applied. So now it is wait and see, with a long time until April 15th, which means the freezes are usually over. Check back later for more peach news.
