Developmental status


A little rain followed by a lot of sun and everything is in super growth mode. The Rondo florets are quite prolific and robust, as are the Solaris. The Pinot Noir has many florets and is slightly behind in development. I only saw one on the Chardonnay vines and it was just beginning. So the experiment is pointing toward Pinot Noir as a potential major contributor. 

On other fronts, we had a feed of mange toute, peas and beans last night. Broad beans are very satisfying to grow, but way too much work to be worthwhile, requiring shelling, parboiling and removal of the skins before contemplating eating them. The raspberries are scruptious and the strawberries are on their way. Yum.
