Last year there was a freeze in April. It got the peach blossoms. No peaches

This year there was a cool and rainy May, June, and early July. The heat racheted up in the past few weeks and there have been some solid hot nights (an old backyard gardener told me this was necessary for tomatoes, melons and summer fruits). Combined with the rainwater, Peaches.

Headline: Overpopulation is also leading to localized food shortages. Children hardest hit.
