Some orchards in Colorado shut down for the season because of the low crop yield from the late frost, hail and rain. The front range experienced one of the rainiest seasons yet. This rain significantly affects crops because it leaves them susceptible to frost, delayed growth and disease, said Gus Westerman, the Dolores County director at Colorado State University Extension. Orchards still offering apple picking for fall 2023 "Whenever we're experiencing a wet spring, sometimes that delays the warm-up. So you'll sometimes have cooler temperatures which can delay that bloom time," said Westerman. A wet season isn't the only reason apples aren't growing at the normal rate in some orchards. Frost can stop the buds from blooming and hail can destroy the crop completely. This was the case at Happy Apple Farm in Penrose, which won't have an apple season ...
