STRAWBERRIES:   After a very warm March and many many cold nights in April, we now have blossoms in our early variety.  Since it takes about three weeks for the berries to form, you can expect some juicy red fruit ready for picking the first week of June.  That will be a record for this farm, but maybe more unusual weather will happen between now and then.  Please check back in late-May for a more accurate prediction, and let’s hope for few frost events at blossom time.

BLUEBERRIES :  Most of the fruit buds made it through the warm and dry Winter months.   The field is in full bloom and the bumblebees are doing their job.  If the warm trend continues, you could expect an early crop, perhaps the first week of July.  Of course, there is still lots time for the weather to influence the fruit development.  Check back in late June for more updates.

SWEET CORN:     We look forward to another successful year in 2012.  The corn seed will be planted once the soil temperatures are ideal for germination.  Usually we pick our first corn in the last week of July.  Maybe this warm weather will continue and the crop will be somewhat earlier.
