Hi 3 bar, We have an excess invasive species called honeysuckle. they are full of those berries. I'm within the 44th parallel (part of the wine growing region for northern climates in wisconsin. Basically runs from Sheboygan (southern boundary) to Green Bay (Northern boundary). I have two silver maples that are huge on my school property. Oh yes I had bud pods and keys. I love those old trees but they are huge and messy as can be (including dead limbs). That reminds me , I need to clean my gutters. My properties are within 12 to 16 miles from Lake Michigan. Farmers had an early opportunity to get their fields planted and accomplished that. Then a lot of rain flooded the fields and some of the plantings rotted and /or the fertilizer below the seed leached out. It is not significant surely no more than 2-4 percent. Both the corn and soybeans really look healthy and were the height needed to meet the old knee high by fourth of July saying. Wheat looks to be excellent, but not as much planted vs last year. Wet fields took on early winter wheat last year here. The weather has been very hot in June - July like. July had a cool front come through but has become HOT here again. High 80's and 90's are reasons for serious complaining by Wisconsinites. My garden was delayed by about 2 -3 weeks, as I was busy working on my Houston home. Good gardening friends are getting cucumbers and making pickles this week. I'm just three weeks away from that. I composted my garden with the hopes of faster growth and it looks good. Icut about 17 big boxelders last year and the garden is getting more sunshine. I also added drip irrigation vs misting hoses of the past. I'll be praying for an Indian summer to get the max crop of my 60 tomato plants and 75 pepper plants. Farmers are happy this summer vs the last summer. Hopefully they get a better price as well! Bob
