Extreme weather fluctuations here. Last night 100% humidity in dense fog and mid 40's. Right now, 77 degrees and 15% humidity. This is not the tropics!

Visibility is 300-400 feet here and 43F. Haven't had frost for about 5 days now. Tony, is your temp of 67 correct? And you've got fog at that temperature? Seems weird.

Nice day here! Got to the upper 50s with lots of sun. But Tuesday is only going to be 28F (17F at night!) thats a 30 degree temperature difference in 2 days! Then we are back to the 50s by the weekend. The weather has been up and down a lot this winter, but at least its going up just as much as going down, unlike last winter when it went down once and didnt come back up until spring!

Saw the sun for a few hours today after the fog burned off just before 1pm. I don't think the temperature ranged much from about 40-45.

Better hope your peaches and nectarines don't abort if you get a cold spell later this month. Sorry to rain on your party, but I'm jealous.

My peaches and nectarines are still covered in green leaves. Haven't even hinted at going dormant. I wish they would.

That happened last year with the cold spell in March. It got cold enough to kill some branches on my peach tree and it did a number on the immature fruit

I usually pull all my leaves so I can get it over with.

I'm going to be pruning all my trees and spraying with Liqui-Cop over the next 2-3 weeks. At this time of year, the Liqui-Cop usually hastens leaf drop on deciduous plants.

Thanks Richard. I wasn't sure if I should wait for the leaves to drop before spraying. I guess not. Do you just use Liqui-Cop or do you combine it with a dormant oil? That guy from Dave Wilson Nursery insisted you should mix them and apply them together. I've had such bad peach leaf curl for the last two years, I need to knock it down as much as possible.

If you are expecting rain then a surfactant is a good idea. Neem oil works well and so do some of the synthetic surfactants now on the market.

I don't care for several of the traditional dormant oils, especially those with distillates.

Until I began filling up my yard with 2,000 fruit trees I just used Liqui-Cop with no surfactant. My pit fruits had maybe 5% curl symptoms, where as my next door neighbors untreated trees had almost 100%. The directions are extensive -- follow them.

Nowadays I have more plants to treat and more microbes to control -- such as fireblight on my pear and quince stock. I'm going to spray with Liqui-Cop and then follow-up in a day or two with AgriMycin (license required). Then I'll come along a week later and do a pre-emptive strike for thrips with either Spinosad or the equivalent of Green Light brand Fruit Tree Spray.

Then in 90 days I'll come along again with something minor to control pest insects -- having taken care of the bulk of the problem now.
