Next year's crop

Although it is too early to tell, next year's crop is off to a good start.  The bloom was large, as it typically is after a cold winter, but we saw quite a bit of drop and a very manageable set now appears to be our crop.  We have June and some hot weather still to go but it looks like there is a good set with plenty of inside fruit.  Some are saying the late navel varieties are lighter than normal but we will have to give it a month or two before we can really get a better forecast; however for now, all looks good (knock on wood).
