Brrrrr!

Another chilly and cloudless sky this morning. I'm sure the Anna Apples and Peaches will be loving the 'cold snap' that we've been having. 

 When we bought both plants at Walmart - said that they need 200 hours of a cold spell. Last year at this time we had maybe just slightly cooler temperatures (58) and the whole apple tree was covered in pink flowers that spring, which resulted in tons of apples. 

An update for those pesky Chinese Rose Beetles: around 8:30pm last night I took a flashlight and looked leaf by leaf for the bugs. 7 were found. 3 on the grapes and four in the apple tree. Zero were found on the raspberries - but it's a big bramble and they are difficult to spot. 

Just have to keep vigilant and look every night this week, and then once I feel it's under control - keep looking a few times a week - if the lacy leaves come back.
