France in Focus

After all the peach & plum trees are in full bloom so whatcha waiting for Jack? Your late appearance has done for 'em for the last 3 years so why should this'un be any different.

3C forecast for next Monday. If you've got the wherewithal to collect grass mowings, making heaps under fruit trees can stave off frost damage.

We have apple, cherry, and plum trees. Only the cherry has any sign of life at the moment. About a quarter inch of green leaf shoots. All the rest are looking quite dead.
Blossom, what's that?

Peach blossom over, plumbs are in full bloom, apples and pears just swelling.
24c yesterday 23c today.
Storms over night 4cast.

Beware the Saintes de Glaces ! They come out to catch you in May !

I Just had that conversation the other day!

Temps dip here in mid-May, true, but not to freezing point

I’m in France at that time this year so I hope they aren’t too severe

Whether that works or not I've just done that and saved a lot of walking to get rid of the cuttings. Where I will put the next lot.....
