Very warm just west of here… 80Fs in W MN and almost 90F in South Dakota.
Pierre, SD was 43F this morning and they are sitting at 89F…
Still going through trees… apricots are toast…hopefully they at least leaf out. Peaches are throwing leaves but no flowers. Everything else looks good. I’m really impressed by Krymsk 1… those trees look super healthy. My Krymsk 86 …its just a rootstock i let grow into a tree…full of flower buds. Kiwis also are greening up quickly…all of this after -33F… pretty good overall.
had a really nasty round of weather blow through on Friday…wind gusts hit 60+ and heavy rain, but it moved through quickly…the good news is that on the back side of it we’ve had some great weather…woke up to 50 degrees this morning, highs in the mid-70’s…headed up to Savannah today for a quick trip. Weather looks nice up there too.
Four days of rain in a row. This storm track was originally north of us. Buckets of water! No such luck. Buds are about to burst. Hope the rain stops as pollination last year was stopped by rain. Not again please!!!
Yeah…it is very mild this morning. Already in the 60Fs …
First time going into the 80s since October 3rd (today)… only 5th Easter with an 80F temp…so rare. Normal avg first 80F here is April 29th…so a little early.
Looks like rain tomorrow night.
Extended still looks very spring like… should be 60Fs or better all week.
We were in southern MN for Easter today. 86 down there. Got home 3.5 hours later and it was 51. Heck of a difference. Spring is much farther along down there…I’d guess at least a week if not 10 days or two weeks.
