A friend dropped off some Chandler, this a good berry! First released in 1984, this one has not lost its style. I’d describe it as spritely, not too sweet but right there.

That quarter inch of rain Fri & Sat won’t amount to much strawberry fruit damage . 👀 for Botrytis tho in mid April or so - extended moisture on open flowers bad news
Looking for #surfperch this afternoon. High tide coming , but real sunny and clear. Not good there, but then again worse conditions would be sitting around fretting rather than #fishing
This happens a lot lately. Just took a call about oak defoliation by California oakworm misid'ed as LBAM. Pest d jour over the ordinary bread and butter one.
If you want to see what oakworm looks like, UC IPM has your info:

The new floor for our auditorium is in! Now just when can we have the meetings again? It’s been a long time - I miss the people, the camaraderie and good times we all had here.

Warming up down here in #Watsonville. This means Fusarium-wise the tide is going out and we are going to find out who’s been in the water without swimming trunks on.
Starting a phyto sanitation trial in strawberries today. All of these fruit are potential rich nests of SWD
