Yardstickgozinya Posted yesterday at 02:54 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:54 PM I apologize if it's already been talked about. I'm haven't been stopping around the forum too much lately. Many fruit farms are reporting 100% loss of fruit as of today from the last freeze. I myself also lost everything. The last freeze did turn out to be locally, one of the most agricultural devastating freezes since i've been a member here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardstickgozinya Posted yesterday at 02:57 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:57 PM I knew it was going happen before it did. It wasn't just about the freeze.It was also about the stage of fruit development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yardstickgozinya Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago https://extension.psu.edu/pennsylvania-tree-fruit-phenology-report-april-21-2026/ Frost Ring Formation Throughout much of the state overnight between April 20-21, temperatures posed a serious risk to fruit crops. Apple, peach, and pear crops may have experienced varying levels of damage depending on developmental stage and site-specific conditions. Apples are at petal fall in Adams County and at full bloom in Center County. Although fertilized flowers and young fruitlets are less sensitive to freezing temperatures than blossoms at full bloom, exposure to critical temperatures may have resulted in tissue injury, leading to embryo damage, fruitlet abortion, or subsequent quality defects. There was also potential for frost ring formation under the forecasted conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My yard has been going nuts for weeks. Mine was way overdue but I also haven't been there in 12 months to mow and I had to use the second highest blade level on the push mower just to keep it from shutting off. It's going to need another touchup the next sunny day and from there it'll be regular maintenance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Below normal temperatures are likely for the foreseeable future. We also turn wetter with rain chances increasing tomorrow morning and especially tomorrow night. Each day trends a bit chillier through the upcoming weekend with highs by Saturday around 15 degrees below normal for the start of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viticulturist reports aren't looking very good either. It's gonna be a rough year for local wine production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My yard has been going nuts for weeks. I'll get #4 in on Thursday but that's only because I'm being stubborn this year and refusing to mow more than once a week, which means come day 5 or 6 things are looking pretty rough at KMJS ha. In fact, the one mow I had to use all the tricks -- walking slow, doing half passes, cleaning the clumps out of the deck halfway through, you know the types -- lest she stall out on me. But once a week it is this year, and I'm sticking to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
