Bloom finished mid-last week, about a week earlier than last year. We had a day of heavy rain early, then perfect conditions, and abundant fruit set. Berries per cluster are higher than normal, 2 to 3 clusters per shoot, and large wings on first clusters. A good crop to be carrying into an early harvest. This weekend through next week are predicted to be mid-90's, spiking into the 100's. Haven't had a spike like this is forecasted to be for several seasons, I'm happy for the heavy canopy above and behind the leafed morning side of the fruit zone.
