Every year, it seems like the cherry blossoms are here and before we know it, they’re gone. But this year, it seems like blew through the Old Mission Peninsula in record time.
In my blossom story last week, I posted a photo of the sweet cherry blossoms – which started blossoming around May 19 – and noted that the tarts would be along in a week or so.

While that’s usually the case, this year, the sweets bloomed, followed by the tarts within days, and then suddenly, they were all gone. Part of that can be attributed to the storms and excessive rain this past week.
Right now, the apple blossoms are out, but I recommend getting out there and taking photos right now, because any still on the trees will likely be gone in the next day or so.
In case you missed them, here’s a photo gallery of a few cherry blossoms around the Old Mission Peninsula…
SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
