Won't be much longer now, peaches are starting to break bud. I would spray them but is windy, expect freeze overnight and FB tells me rain starting Tuesday. Rain on and off until Saturday. Instead tank and I are going to prune a little, mainly remove crossed banches.

Tank and I did some peach tree pruning mostly minor. But I did remove an entire branch where every stem crossed another. It's a loring the tree will do better with that branch gone. I was able to collect more scion wood so that's a plus. While we were pruning the wind died down. So I went ahead and sprayed peach trees with organic liquid copper fungicide. I needed to get rid of the bottle anyways but there was still some left in the bottle so I went ahead and sprayed the apricots also.

Today is March 2nd, last year March 6th I had peaches starting to popcorn. If I had to guess, I would say we are about a week or so behind last year. I'll know forsure when the peaches start to popcorn.

Last year we had peach popcorn March 6th. It's March 5th and FB tells me 25F overnight. "No peach popcorn for you tomorrow", ain't that the truth. Peach trees a barely green tip.

Very last logs for me this winter, that's all i'm bringing in. I'll run the heat pump if I have to. I just don't like running the electric furnace coils because it spikes the electric bill. The heat pump isn't so bad on the electric bill. But it ain't worth a hill of beans, when its below freezing outside.

Hey, I had to run heated water tubs for several days during our arctic blast, for animals & my own ease of care & conscience. Now that's expensive!!!! I'm cringing as I pay up.
