I drove today across central GA and noted that peaches are blooming everywhere from Watkinsville to Tifton (and south, too, I am sure, but I did not go that far). That means they are vulnerable to a later than normal frost. I did not see any blueberries on my drive but I know some varieties are blooming too. Unfortunately, the long-range models are showing another cold outbreak around the March 18-19 time period covering most of Georgia so farmers are not out of the woods yet, although that is far enough out that we have to treat that forecast with some skepticism.
While we wait to see updates on the forecast, here are some recent stories you might be interested in.
