Wow has it been a crazy winter time! Something about the 2010-2011 winter season reminds me of a scene from an old Monty Python movie:
'Winter changed to Spring, Spring changed into Summer, Summer changed back into Winter, and Winter gave Spring and Summer a miss and went straight on into Winter.' .
Of course, it's possible that I just watch too much Monty Python :)
One positive for this snowy, rainy, icy, sleety, hail-y weather is that it's replenishing the water table...and after last year's drought that's a great thing.
Late winter and early spring are prime time for pruning and getting ready for the fall crop, so whenever nature has allowed, we've been out trimming trees and treating them with horticultural oils to prevent infestations. Certain natural oils when diluted with water and applied as a spray are effective, even organic, solutions to pests, fungi and various diseases. And the healthier the trees, the healthier and more abundant the harvest. That's good news for everyone! We're narrowing down the the window of time for our opening day....more information coming soon! Until then, Huck and Jody
