It turns out all the orchards are leaving their sprinklers on in the freezing weather. This morning I photographed this orchard just a 100 yards in back of us.
Apparently the ice protects the buds from hard frost. It seems a little like soaking a carpet to protect it from flood to me, but I don’t know much about growing fruit trees. The flower buds do look pretty ok. Who’da thunk it!
