Beeless

Remember having to use a dictionary to spell a difficult/tricky word in grade school?  If you don't know how to spell it (ie: opossum, faux pas), how can you find it?  The internet can be the same.  Determining berry problems is endless: too hot, too cold, lack of water, lygus bug infestation, root fungus, etc...  The one I like the most through process of elimination: NO bees.  Lack of bees is nationwide problem (too many chemicals).  Now I have to find ways to bring in pollinators.  Of the 6 berry fruits, currently 4 are nubbins.  I did discover that the variety of berry being sold in all the local garden stores is NOT conducive to our heat.  Great! Its 92F outside.  Ugh.
