It's looking pretty certain that tree fruit here is
going to be few and far between. With weather in the low 20s headed
our way, just can't see much surviving. Everything is just too far
along. There's still a few peach buds at calyx and a few pears at open
cluster that may survive, but apples, plums, apricots are going to be a complete
bust.
Oh well, at least glad of conventional
agriculture that uses large quantities of fertilizer and chemicals to produce
abundant cheap food, and large trucks that use lots of fuel to get it near my
door.

Subject: [NAFEX] the blizzard that
wasn't
Well, after all the hype, the massive blizzard that was supposed to hit
Iowa didn't. At least not me. I have some really, really heavy wet snow but
nothing that will be here tomorrow, I bet.
The question of the day........I got two Reliance bare root peaches from
Gurney's yesterday. I put them in a bucket of water and they are still there.
Should I plant them today? At least I THINK I can dig a hole. I don't know
just exactly how cold it is going to get. Was supposed to get 20 or something
like that and strong wind. Don't know if that will happen. Maybe. -- Toni in zone 4 Iowa
