Spring-into-summer is a tricky time around here. We sometimes have a couple of weeks of unseasonably warm and sunny weather, followed by a couple of weeks of near-reinstatement of winter. This is how it was this May and June. But the plants still push on through. One of the local botanical heroes is the Chuckleypear, an Amelanchier variety that is well loved hereabouts. It is often the first berry ripe for picking. That is because it often gets its fruit set in that near-winter-like weather of early spring. So today I saw lots of Chuckleypears set and fattening up for summer. Nothing else is as far along.
