Hi Tom
I will have a look at your pictures when back in the city tonight. The 
powdery mildew is starting to arrive here. It has shown up on just the Golden 
Nugget so far. We have also had lots of young deer roaming around. There are 
far more this year than I can remember for previous years. We are even seeing 
them late afternoon. Not in multiples but just one at a time. It is likely 
the same deer in our vicinity. We have started to call him Oscar. Thank 
goodness the Plantskydd is working.  Many of my apple neighbours are having 
their trees "pruned" in the last week. Three dogs, fences and Plantskydd have 
been protecting us so far. 

Aside from enough blackberries to sink a ship, the only remaining crop that 
showing in great numbers is the thistles. They are everywhere. Yanking them 
every day that we are here.  

Cheers. Bizmark
