Bringing back this thread in part to illustrate that life goes on in flyover country despite the seemingly dark situation weighing on our nation. This morning at 2 a.m., the wind machines roared to life again around the Grand Valley to protect the fruits of farmers labor. Much of the apricot buds froze earlier but the peach crop is still safe. Tomorrow with be a critical test with the temp predicted to drop to 22 degrees.

I was planning to prune my few remaining peach trees today but will hold off to see how many buds survive.
