Well its been a tough cold May and the plants are about 2 weeks behind. Ill be lucky to get 60 day old fruit for the fairs.

Avg High temp 60* Avg High temp 60*
Avg Low temp 39* Avg Low temp 41*
Rain total 2.25" Rain total 5.87"
Kilocalories 374 Kilocalories 357
(Avg day sunlight measured in Kilocalories (over 500 is all day full sun for April))

May 2007 May 2008
Avg High temp 80* Avg High temp 73*
Avg Low temp 57* Avg Low temp 48*
Rain total 2.3" Rain total 6"
Kilocalories 478 Kilocalories 431

As you can see May was lacking heat and sun while we got hammered with rain.

June will have to be perfect to have any kind of chance at a decent fruit this year.
