June 20: We had an inch and a half of rain this week. Weather has been mild, windy and even a bit chilly. First week without cover and looking a bit rough and wind blown. Preflowers are showing purple! This one is going to be a beauty.
@NorthernChemist, I forget what I used but it was what is recommended in a YouTube video by Jorge Cervantes. @Dalemac usually does a bud wash and he shows how to do it in at least one of his outdoor diaries.
