GDD update 8.7.20

Back on schedule!  For a week at least….. Off to look for sweet corn and waiting for NYS peaches (as a peach breeder’s daughter I think I should support the local crop!)

 

Were you in the heavy rain zone?  Very localized but the Hudson Valley got whomped.   Northern NY really needed it, but coming all at once isn’t good.  http://blogs.cornell.edu/nysipm/2020/08/05/isaias-dumps-rain-in-eastern-and-northern-new-york/

Nothing to add from my list.  Is that good or bad?  I hear the heat is coming back….
