PROVINCE OF UTRECHT – Fruit growers in our region hold their breath. After a few warm weeks, night frost is expected. That means broken nights because watering has to be done. “The weather forecast changes every minute and they are now also talking about snow. That makes it worse, because then you can’t irrigate. Snow is an exceptional situation. At least I haven’t experienced it yet,” says Eveline Westeeng.
