Default OT?: Winemaking

Dear David near Vire in Calvados in Normandy In France In Europe,
it's a pity you can't post a picture of any distinguishing marks. Or,
don a shower cap, like Rupert does (to distinguish him from other
posters called Don, and any passing goats).

Janet (not the one near Amersham, in Bucks, in England: the other
one.)


There is actually a recent picture of me on the blog. However, fortunately
or unfortunately depending upon your perspective, not much of me is visible
since I'm donned head to toe in protective gear, poised ready to spread the
quicklime I accidentally bought instead of slaked lime.

If the other David in Calvados in Normandy happens to read this - do you
know your potato varieties in French? I set half a dozen different varieties
from Point Vert and they all died down a month ago. Does this mean I
accidentally bought all early varieties or is it due to the very hot and dry
conditions we've been having? They didn't get any extra watering since we're
on a meter.
