Bloom for many varieties was heavy with most crops in shuck split or thumb size. There has been plenty of good days for bee activity and pollination to date. However, there will be a few crops such as Japanese plums and sweet cherries that may have a heavy June drop as there appears to be quite a size difference of the fruit. Tree planting is finished for most areas and peach pruning dominates the grower's activities in between rain showers. Most growers have now finished tying and suckering the vines is the main activity.
Vines have several leaves but growth is in a holding pattern with the cool weather.
There was little winter bud damage showing up. Vine plantings started in early May but has slowed down during this wet weather. Rain last week severely limited field work by vegetable growers. Transplanting of tomatoes and peppers will continue when fields dry up. Green peas are now starting to flower.
