After what seemed like forever, the bloom has arrived! Without exaggerating, the bloom this year is almost 3 weeks behind what would be considered normal for this area. The cold just wouldnt go away for more than a day or 2 and that really slowed things down. Winter was once again also hard on the trees. The lack of snow until almost Christmas is hard on trees, especially the younger ones. I guess thats the way it is when you grow just about anything on a bigger scale. On the brighter side, the bees are having a field day at the moment! If you look at the picture above this post, its what I would call bee heaven. Apples and dandelions. I see alot of honey coming from this, thats a good thing. Lets hope that the weather continues to help us out with rain and mild temps. I'll keep you posted.......
