Today we smashed the all time temp record for the day for this area.  We are more than 40 degrees higher than normal for this day and more than 30 degrees higher than the average high temperature.

Everything has exploded into growth and we are about 6 weeks from last frost date.  I fear massive losses of fruit crops due to the inevitable frosts yet to come.  My honeyberries, blueberries and a few other things are already in bloom.

It's going to be an unusual growing season.
