It's raining!

Seems like we've been having more or less the same weather all year! It's actually pouring today.  I haven't managed to get the rest of my transplants in.  The Drosophila suzukii has made a mess of my cherries again, although we did get some good fruit off the Royal Anne.  I cut off the tops of all the cherries and stripped the fruit off them.  We cut down our old Stella.  It was in decline anyway, but still that brought a tear to my eye.  That had been such a wonderful tree and produced the best fruit until the suzukii came along.  Now it is starting to attach my strawberries, black berries and raspberries.  It has been such a cool and rainy spring I have bumper crops of them.

Here is a view from our bike ride yesterday.  It sprinkled the whole time.  Also a picture of the Oakland skyline.  Usually we are working on the other side of the bay, but got a chance to work in the east bay and see things from the other side.
