40. It's crazy here (80+ this week)

Feb 2014

Here in So Cal yesterday I picked and ate the first of the RIPE boysenberries from our vines! They are usually ready around May. The apricot tree has already bloomed, been pollinated and the tiny apricots are forming. I'm worried that we will have a--what should be normal--cold snap and it will wipe out all of the setting fruit and flowers. It would be great if we would just have some rain now.

I also agree, I can't imagine what this Summer will be like here.
