The weather this winter has been wacky. No one with credentials is blaming global warming, but I have a hunch we may be in for wacky weather and early hurricane seasons for the foreseeable future.
The fruit trees in the Yakima Valley began budding a couple of weeks ago which is extremely early. It means that orchard heaters will have to run from now until spring in order to ensure that the frost doesn’t ruin this season’s crop.
I can see where a combination of Global Warming and Peak Oil may cause the cost of Washington fruit to soar.
Of course the organic apples which are readily available in “the Burg” actually come from New Zealand. I have no idea how the weather in New Zealand is behaving.
