Second spraying

What I did:
     Gave a second round of late dormant sulfur spray

Comments:
     It was a nice, warm upper 60 degree day.  I gave a thorough second coating of lime sulfur spray, with about 2/3 the strength of my original spray.  I sprayed heavily on the ground under the vines of the older plants as well, since I saw a number of dried mummies and rachises around them.  I need to spend an hour or so raking and removing as much of that as I can.  It will have to wait until May, however, since we will be gone for awhile. Some of the grapes are showing swollen buds, others nothing yet.  The Cayuga whites, one year old, are looking healthy and should all bud out.
Two days ago I watered the newly planted Frontenac Gris, with acid fertilizer.   We've been lucky to have several  very pleasant spring days in a row.  This is Iowa--that won't last.
