HI FOLKS, WELCOME BACK TO A NEW SEASON. HASKAPS ARE BEGINNING TO GROW NOW AND ARE SOLID GREEN IN COLOR. THE CEDAR WAX WING BIRDS ARE MAKING AN APPEARANCE, SO I WILL START PUTTING UP MY NETTING. THE ORCHARD HAS COME UNDER VERY HIGH WINDS LATELY WHICH IS REALLY BEATING UP THE BUSHES …SO HOPE THINGS SETTLE DOWN. MY NEXT NEWS REPORT WILL BE WHEN ORCHARD CONDITIONS CHANGE. BYE FOR NOW, GARY AND DONNA
JUNE 29….HI AGAIN FOLKS. I MUST MAKE AN APOLOGY FOR NOT GETTING BACK TO YOU SOONER. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT PLACING THE BIRD NETTING OVER THE 11 ROWS HAS TAKEN ME FOREVER. I JUST DON’T HAVE THE ENERGY ANYMORE. THE HASKAPS ARE COMING ALONG WELL. THEY ARE TURNING PURPLE, BUT ARE NOT SWEET AT THIS POINT. IT USUALLY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THEY ARE READY FOR PICKING. TAKE CARE, BYE FOR NOW. GARY AND DONNA
JULY 13,,,,HI FOLKS . WE WILL FINALLY OPEN ON JULY 18 , THURSDAY. ( CLOSED TUES AND WED ) HASKAPS ONLY. IT HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE WAITING FOR THE HASKAPS TO SHOW THEIR TRUE TASTE. THE SWEET HASKAPS ARE STILL TART AND IT MIGHT TAKE WEEKS FOR THE SWEETNESS TO COME THRU. TO DAY I HAD FREINDS COME AND TASTE THE CROP AND THEY SAID THE TART TASTED GREAT. SO THE HEART OF THE MATTER IS , IF YOU LIKE TART, I’VE GOT THE HASKAPS. TAKE CARE, GARY AND DONNA
JULY 15…..GOOD NEWS FOLKS, THIS LAST WEEKEND THE SWEET HASKAP VARIETIES FINALLY TURNED SWEET, SO ALL IS GOOD IN THE HASKAP PATCH.TAKE CARE, GARY AND DONNA
