Apple Blossom Festival prompts bloom optimism in Adams County
Harrisburg notes farm work in arrears but growth is starting as apple blossoms appear around Adams County on May 7 at the Apple Blossom Festival. Peaches cherries and pears bloom in southern Pennsylvania with some frost damage visible but not yet fully assessed. Wet cool weather slowed field work and only one plowing day occurred while rain caused minor flooding and delayed orchard spraying and nursery lifting.
