Here in the Pacific Northwest we had a cold, wet June. Finally, on the 5th of July we began to see sunshine.

I don’t know how well this helps orchardists in Wahsington and Oregon, but cherries are now in the markets and look really delicious. Hopefully the wheat crops in eastern Washington and Oregon will have benefited from the rainy weather, too, and yield bountifully this fall.

Weather this year is vastly improved over last year.

Many, many days, even in the summer last year, temps were in the 50’s and it rained.

All of my garden is doing hugely better. I picked a boatload of pea pods this morning.

That's why its good to have cops spread all over rather than growing them all in one area. We have no cherries in Michigan this year but it sounds like west coast cherries are doing well. I'm assuming the apples out that way are doing OK as well.
