It has been a very hot summer here in central Florida, but what else is new? Well the last week or so has been, as usual, hot and muggy with very little rain. The orchard is past a milestone, by that I mean it is well over a year in the ground. I am starting to see some signs of growth in the caliper of the oldest trees planted and total height of the trees. The orchard is next door to my house so normally I see it on a daily basis, however after having a good amount of rain in the last month I have had a break from watering. When a week or so goes by and I don't make it into the orchard I can see a big change in the size of the trees. I think they are beginning to become established and for that I am grateful.
