The Healthy Ones

Look! Some of our grapes are looking perfectly healthy - like these. We're trying to keep it that way - keeping powdery mildew at bay given the ideal temps for it to thrive (mid 80s). So this weekend was spent thoroughly spraying the vines with good ol' stylet oil. Most rows had enough vegetation cleared such that spray got through the canopy, but rows 4 and 5 have taken on a life of their own. Will spend next week gradually getting the leaves in the fruit zone pulled, and getting those laterals removed (again - seems like they keep on growing them!)
