    Despite a huge amount of blossoms, our 3 apple trees had a terrible fruit set.  The most prolific one, Haralred, will have a light crop, but the Ultramac will have very few and the Empire probably none.  The only worse seasons were 2008, as the deer browsed all the buds thanks to a tall and solid snowpack (and the neighbor's cedar harvest ending in early February), and 2010 when the very early spring led to 3 mid-May mornings in the low-mid 20s. 
    I blame this year's trouble on awful weather during the pollination time.  We had 9 straight cloudy rainy days May 17-25 and the latter 7 days had average temps of 50/40 - maxima that week was 16° BN.  Almost no pollinating insects were out and about during that time and by the 26th the blossoms had mostly fallen apart.
    There's always next year . . .

    A legit question/ concern.. last year being a huge mast year for acorns.. all along the edge of and even deep in the woods are new little Oak saplings. The kind you see in lawns that can be mowed. But I mean there’s hundreds, if not thousands in the woods.. way too many to pull . Will all of these become new Oak trees or will they die? I mean I’ve never seen this many before and it’s concerning

    You need to move down to the shoreline. Just got back from another special 5 miler along the shoreline. Screenshot_20250630_060803_Gallery.thumb.jpg.fe0304a054a1f3b3fa61dc9639ab06c0.jpg

     

    Expect a typical warm and humid summer day region wide. The region will be just north or along the northern periphery of a stalled frontal boundary to the immediate south. Dew point readings will be primarily in the middle and upper 60s through the early afternoon. A sea breeze gets going for the afternoon and will usher in slightly
    higher moisture values with dew points approaching 70 late in the day and evening along far southern locations

    Need to be in and up for the 3x it snows and matters in winter
