coast of Maine | Home farm only 4 miles from saltwater,about 12 to open ocean.That field is our closest to the bay.Fungicide for a disease called Mummy Berry.The berries are either hand raked with a scoop with tines or machines.We prefer the walk behind machines as the quality is way better than tractor mounted ,,the big ones are like a street sweeper in a way.As you can tell we have almost no leaves on the trees yet,,they get them inland faster,more GDD there.No fruit bloom yet unless covered with cloth.It is quite cool and cloudy,,8th weekend with rain in a row.Which actually precludes us from so much frost risk.So the good from the bad.Lots of crops in,,maybe about on schedule but soil temps low and wet.Covered crops are doing OK ,here is a shot of potatoes from 3 days ago.im sorry was wrong, in that photo I was applying a couple herbicides for weeds, calisto and matrix. The next photo is fungicide which I do with air cannon, too many days too much to do
