This could in part explain why I had poor fruit set.  Early spring was
warm, but when the blossoms came out, the average temp dropped to the
lower 50's.  Another problem I have this year is lack of blossoms, a
cause of which is excess nitrogen in the previous year.  I may be guilty
of over feeding.
