So it's now June, and things are continuing to be very busy in the vineyard.
Most recently, I sprayed another application of Roundup on Monday, 5/31 to keep the weeds under control.
Also, over the holiday weekend, I fired up the irrigation system for the first time this season to test it. For the most part, it seems to be in good working order. There are two rows in section A that need another clamp at the end of the drip hose because they are leaking. Most of the emitters seem fine, but there are a few that seem to be clogging/dripping slowly.
The fruit is coming along nicely, and we continue to WPTT, working our way through section A (3 1/2 rows left for this first pass this season). Then we'll move down to B, which should take less time per plant.
A couple of other updates. Caterpillars continue to be seen - various kinds - but no appreciable damage as of yet. And no hornworms. The latest specimen from yesterday:
And good news: The two vines that had glyphosate damage seem to have run the course and have started putting out healthy leaves again. Hopefully they will catch up next season.
