Have a young orchard of just 100 trees in their second year. Looking pretty good but about two weeks early for bloom. Hope we don't get a frost.

Rabbiteye blueberries in the background.

Trapping season over so I'm a farmer again and needing to catch up on farm stuff like pruning!

Ours already putting leaves on and big frost coming tomorrow night! If we survive the 80 degree weather and tornado's tonight! Never seen weather so bipolar as it is this year!

same here Jtrapper, hot as satans feet yesterday, front coming in, gonna be frost here tomorrow night. hope my peach tree and the mayhaws I have dropped pins on survive it.

supposed to be 90 again by Friday.

snowed a little here today. supposed to warm back up tuesday

How many peaches are you planning to let a tree that size bear? Happy trapping! ScottW

My peach trees barely have swollen buds on them! Planted last spring.

I don't know Scott. We try to thin to about 6-8" of limb per peach. But on bearing year one last year (fall planted trees in 2023) we got as many as 80 peaches per tree.

I noticed today the buds on my apricot are starting to swell. I also saw that the dead nettle is flowering and that the invasive honeysuckle is starting to leaf out. I'm going to have to mow soon.

Greening up here and temps have been warm

Emptied wife's greenhouse a week ago yesterday and it is 38 now and dropping and supposed to get down around freezing tonight again

Hopefully she doesn't lose anything

12 here this morning

I have peaches already set. Supposed to get down to 23 tomorrow

That's pretty cold White but you may be OK if they're already set.

With what should these be sprayed?
Before bloom of course.

In western Oregon our spray schedule is a copper spray at leaf fall in October, another one mid December, then mid January (all of these for leaf curl and bacterial blights) and then sulfurs at pre-bloom and full bloom for blossom blight-brown rot control. There are other blossom blight sprays that work better than sulfur but I'm certified organic and can't use them.

Thanks, peaches are new to me.
My plan is ask the local ag store owner This week.
Trees not emerged yet, below 20f wind chill tonight, yuk.

I could qualify Org too. Kind of proud of that.
Noone cares, they want cheap.
Now I just send them to the big grower$.
