8-24-2011 Picked most of the DeChaunac and about half of the Frontenac. DeChaunac were getting eaten by something, birds probably, and the Frontenac was looking pretty ripe. Picked 15 lb. 5 oz. of just grapes. This made about 1 1/2 gallons.
8-27 Picked all of the Aurore, of which there was little, the small couple of bunches of Cayuga Whites, 8 grapes from Moore's Diamond (birds got the rest) and some of the Niagara, enough to make about 2 3/4 quarts of pure juice.
All vines are covered, but birds, apparently, are still getting in at night. I do not see them in there during the day and the electric fence is keeping raccoons out, so I can only guess that it is birds roosting and feeding there at night.
Nortons are ripening nicely, and the concords are getting good color though they still have a ways to go.
