We left behind the grapes that had not yet ripened when we were picking. I went up to check if they were ripening as we've had weird weather the last few days. Misty and rainy. Wouldn't you know, that most of the grapes were gone. Cheeky birds must have had a feast. I thought the CDs would be keeping them away but the most stripped clusters were right next to a CD. Interestingly, the best remaining grapes were by the heron statue.
So I am very glad we harvested when we did. Yet the grapes that are still there are substantially bigger than they were when we harvested. Juicy and delicious. And the Chardonnay are still not ripening.
Oh and our gas-powered mowing beast has finally arrived. In time to store it for winter.
