4/15 Sprayed grapes and blueberries with dormant sulphur spray. Almost too late with this early spring. Temps in the 70's have really pushed things along.
Wine notes: The cherry from last year is really looking good both in appearance and taste! I hope we get a good crop again this year. The tree is just starting to bloom. On the downside, the blueberry melomel is simply terrible and will have to be dumped out.
4/24 Sulfur and captan. Also sprayed blueberries and rasberries, Add Nova to the mix next.
5/5 Sprayed with captan, mancozeb and nova. Need to do some pruning.
5/15 Same as above.
5/26 captan, mancozeb, quintec. Last mancozeb application. Deer have been getting more fresh shoots than I care for. electric fence next year. Tried a bottle of the 2013 Red the other night, last bottle I think, and it was surprisingly good. I think I really need to let the reds age a bit. Nice 2014 White Blend as well. Still have a few of those. :)
6/7 captan and quintec.
6/19 captan and nova. Grapes are looking great, with many, many clusters. Very aggressive plant growth. Japanese beetles are out in full force, threatening to be a huge problem this season.
7/2 Captan and nova. Many grapes, heavy clusters. Did get hit with mummy berries pretty badly, a number split open. still looking for a very good harvest.
