With the hot, dry weather we have been having, there is very little chance of scab infection, and we see next to none in the orchard. Also a reduced chance of getting late blight on the tomatoes and potatoes, thankfully. Not too many insect pests either, so far. More waiting to go before we know how the insect damage will be. Meanwhile, the apples are starting to turn red and continue to get bigger despite no rain. The weather couldn’t be more different than it was last year, it will be interesting to see if the apples taste different when they have ample sun and heat.
