21 August 2006

There has been no real rain (2.8 mm in the past week), but warm days (16-22 deg. max temps). The crop is at the green bud stage. Some individual plants in the crop are flowering, but flowering is said to commence when 10% of plants have their first open flower. This may occur during the week, depending on the weather.
