Here is a picture of some netted Mandarins in Woodlake. Growers put the nets over the trees to keep the bees from pollinating the blooms. If they get pollinated you will get seeds. Also, notice that the fruit hasn't been picked yet, the netting is only needed for several weeks.

Wow, Here we go!!! Early Peaches are in full bloom. 2017 California Stonefruit crop is right around the corner.

We got a break in the rainy weather so the growers got busy picking some citrus. Forecast is for a week of sunshine then the rain is supposed to pick back up.

Can you believe it?? Pomegranates are coloring up fast and will start getting packed in a couple weeks... Summer is flying by!

#1-Snow melts and flows down stream. #2-Stored in the lake. #3-Flows down the canal to irrigate the crops. After 2 years of not having any water in the canals, it is great to see them flowing again!!!

Just drove by a nice looking Nectarine field!!!

The Orange trees are in full bloom! Look great and put a wonderful smell in the air. Its crazy to see the beginning and the end on the tree at the same time.

Here come the Delano Grapes!!! Before we know it these will be getting packed. WoooHooo

Saw another field of Pomegranates pushed out driving the backroads the other day. Signs of a so/so fresh market and bad juice prices over the last few years.
