A cooler morning beckons. \u00a0Mummies to pluck off the cherry and plum trees. \u00a0I’m going for manual disease control of a fungus peculiar to stone fruits, brown rot. \u00a0The best way to cope with it is good hygiene, i.e. cleaning up infected fruits after they fall.<\/p>\n

I’m going to try to get ahead of this by picking infected fruit off the tree before they fall to the ground. \u00a0Moisture and heat, especially as the fruit ripens increases the spread of brown rot so removing the fruit early should help. \u00a0I can do this because I only have four effected trees, two cherry and two plum. \u00a0This would not be effective for a larger operation.<\/p>\n

A week or so of consistent warmth, if not exactly summer heat, should boost growth. \u00a0A week from today I begin the next phase of the International Ag labs program. \u00a0I’m looking forward to completing the year, then having a full year with it next year.<\/p>\n
