Thanks to Doug Thomas of Crown Nursery for providing the photo to start off a series over the next few weeks on chill accumulation in MacDoel of our day neutral strawberries, in this case the ever popular Monterey.

Total accumulation of chill by 10/7 in Macdoel when this picture was taken was 245 hours (thank you Lassen Canyon Nurseries for tracking this info and posting it) between the critical temperatures of 33 and 45 degrees, offset by 274 + 61 hours above 60 degrees since Sept 1 (that being 61-80 degrees and 80-100, respectively).
