Grower Update: Vilas 51
Hello everyone I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Fourth of July! Boy have things moved along fast since last time we chatted! My early varieties have little to no bloom left with my latest varieties at about 60-70 % pollinated this morning. Blossom looked strong across the marshes up north and fruit set seems to be following suit. Bug pressure has been low. Everyone’s booms have been busy with applications and pumps running for irrigation. It’s been one of those ” rain on the lawn but not on the garden” summers as we have watched many storms narrowly miss us. It’s going to be a busy couple of weeks but before we know it we all will be thinking about getting harvest equipment out and ready! Hope everyone has a great month and mother nature treats you well!
