WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

Spring in transitioning into summer fast and furious. Some of my apple and blueberries are already showing young fruit in the making. The swelling at the base of apple flowers normally indicates a future apple fruit is growing. The blueberries are already visible. I know the grass grew incredibly fast over the last 5 days; Summer is here despite what the calendar says.
