Apples are getting bigger every day, peaches at what we call shuck split, and we can determine that there will a lot of hand thinning to get those big juicy “ bend over” peaches. The last pic is one of the many insect monitoring traps deployed here. Many thanks to UNH Extension, U. Mass, and support funds from the NH Dept. Of Agriculture Markets and Food. This one sends real time pictures of captured Oriental Fruit Moth adults to a U. Mass grad student studying new ways to better monitor pests so we can make better management decisions.
