Hi:

I have kept an eye on the backyard orchard and it looks like I won't be as busy bagging this year as I was last year.  I lost my GoldRush tree last year and my Rubinette does not seem to have many flowers this year.  The Asian pear has fruit and I hope to start bagging soon.  I checked my Honeysweet pear tree and discovered to my dismay that the baby fruits that I could see had signs of some kind of rust on them.  I will have to inspect to see if all baby fruit have them and remove them, if so.  The raspberries look like they have filled in again even though I always think I have thinned them.  Blueberries - I have one young plant in a pot (that I meant to get into the ground last year....) that has a number of berries on it.  The Duke blueberry is looking fairly good as well though it is a small plant.

Anyone else have orchard news?

Looks to be about time to start hand-pollinating Paw paws in my NE Portland yard; and some I've seen closer to downtown over in the Irvington/Sabin neighborhood.

I applied my first spraying of compost tea today and I just started bagging my Asian pears, my first fruit to bag, on the weekend.
