I just took a turn around the old homestead and yep, that dreaded late freeze got us again this year.

It was kind of sad looking at all of the peach, pear, and cherry blossoms covered in snow and knowing that I'll have to wait until next season for them. Last year we didn't have any apples but were loaded on pears and cherries. Odd because the apples are later than they are. Go figure.

I started a new orchard when we first moved in and chose late blooming apples. But there ain't no such thing as a late blooming cherry or peach. I was planning on a couple new pear trees next year so I guess I'll need to go late blooming for them as well. But it is sad. Hopefully the remaining stuff does well and the garden produces this year.
