Julia surveys the vineyard

Per her request, we surveyed the status of veraison in the vineyard.

Veraison after powdery mildew

I've officially graduated to full fledged grape grower.  I finally had to learn to treat my vines for powdery mildew.  One does not tend to remember that sulphur really starts to stink after a week or so...phew!!

The grapes are going through veraison and I seemed to have averted the majority of cracking associated with a bad powdery mildew infection.  I just need to be vigilant until harvest
