Rain, Rain Go Away!

The weather has been detrimental the past few days here on Strawberry Hill. We have had so much rain lately, which is both good and bad for us. Strawberries cannot handle this heat, nor the rain. Luckily, strawberry season is almost over, so this weather cannot hurt us that much longer. On the other hand, peaches are soaking up all the rain and warm weather in a positive way. Peaches flourish dramatically with every rain shower we get. Though, the other day, we did end up getting a little hail on one of our strawberry fields. Hail has a negative effect on both strawberries and peaches because it ruins strawberries and knocks peaches (both mature and still growing) off the trees. Their are a lot of things that farmers cannot control, and the weather is one of them.
