Yes, the flowering and leafing of peach trees was a month or more later than "normal" the last two years. Previously, the flowering happened starting the first week in February. The Nectarene/ Peach in some nurseries directly exposed to the cold ocean breeze only just started flowering. Weird! The last two years, the cold wind off the ocean delayed the first flowering until the middle of March. Only the sheltered half of my Tangelo tree flowered last year on time, and the other half flowered two months later! Thankfully, it over flowered this spring. Thing is, the ocean currents flow south from Alaska moderating all seasons. Right now, our daily temps are almost ten degrees cooler than normal. We still have that cool ocean breeze. April and October are our hottest months, the only times I have to put on the AC for a few days. Starting in May, historically we have May Gray and June Gloom with the desert heat pulling in the offshore overcast 20 miles inland so some years we don't see the Sun until July. This also gives us an ever present haze all summer moderating coastal temps when only a swamp cooler is required. Its difficult and $$$ to live in paradise > We joke we only have one week of winter and one week of summer each year along the coast. Now the silly people living more than 20 miles to the East (of the 805) are "on the griddle" and choose to live in their Summer desert heat Lewis
