How Massachusetts weather is impacting the growing season for flowers
SOUTHWICK, Mass. (WWLP) – The plant growing season is under way and we're starting to see some more and more showing up at area farms.
After a dry start this spring, the rain we've been getting lately has been beneficial for area farmers. It was very busy at Calabrese Farms in Southwick on Thursday with people picking up flowers and some of the vegetables that are now available.
Experts urge protection against summer pest threats; Tips to stay safe
Joe Calabrese says so far things have been pretty good this season, 'Overall the temperatures have been up pretty good so that's helping a lot even with the moisture. But going into next week, we're seeing highs in the 60s and 40s at night, so that kind of slows down the growing of the crops in the field right now.
Right now, there are plenty of flowers available, and you'll also find asparagus as well as Rhubarb. In the next couple of weeks, you can look for things like head lettuce, and in about a month, strawberries should be out.
