Gone "Gardening"

Actually, gardening is just one of many distractions for me this time of the year but one that I really do enjoy.

The weather finally warmed up in this area about a week ago. We were actually about three weeks behind normal at the time so I have been very busy in the garden since then. Things were going well until an unexpected hailstorm hit yesterday. Knocked many of the blossoms off the fruit trees.

That white stuff mixed with the rain made slush everywhere and lasted just long enough to do its damage to the fruit blossoms. Since the temperature was 62 degrees farenheit when the storm passed over, the ice bits melted rather quickly.

Hopefully, since there were plenty of honeybees working last week, many of those blossoms set fruit before getting dislocated. Time will tell. The plus side is I have turned the drip irrigation system off for a few days. The moisture yesterday is sufficient for now.

At the onset of summer I have had to re-prioritize things and have decided to set the social media part of WA on the back burner. There is still so much training that I need to go through in order to get the websites up. That will become my "inside" work for now.

Until later into the summer,
