Welcome to Spring! Things have begun to green up here at Meigs as we’ve had some warmer weather and plenty of rain. Consequently, this week has been a push to make our first-of-season herbicide and fungicide applications in the orchard. Though we breached 80F a couple times already, our fruit trees and brambles do not seem to be developing as early as last year. The progress they have made seemed to happen overnight! There are a couple open blooms in the plums, but everything seems on track to be fruitful this year weather permitting. We put in a lot of time pruning in the orchard and brambles this Winter and are looking forward to its reward later this Summer/Fall.
