Maine Growers say the weather is something you can't lose sleep over. Instead they focus on how to turn the season around. For Wallingford's Fruit House in Auburn, the season is off to a strong start. Owner Peter says the apples are sweeter than usual because there was little rain in the last month."It's something that you have to deal with," said Wallingford while standing alongside several crates of freshly picked apples. "You learn after many years of this that it will be better tomorrow and you just kind of get through that one day or that period of time and do what you have to do."The growing season is not going as well for everyone though. Five Fields Farm in Bridgton lost 80 percent of its crop in hail storms this summer. The damage was widespread but they're salvaging what they can for the season.'Pick Your Own' is expected to be open until Mid-October. Growers who process their apples to be shipped plan to be packaging those until the end of the year.
