In the last week or so I noticed small black flies in the male fowers. They look like fruit flies but I suspect they are something else and possibly bad. Are they?

If your fruit is set and growing nicely cut off all flowers, to aid in reaching, the highest weight possible.

Gary- If you are coming to Santa Cruz sometime let me know. We can figure a time to meet. I use land not at my house so I'll have to meet you there.
