Default feeling the love in the grapes

i love you too Billy.

the grapes look ok,
i might get some kind of
crop out of them yet this
year. the birds are being
birds so i'm losing some
to pecks and poop damage.

some are being stung and
i remove them when seen.
only a few have shown
signs of rot and i've trimmed
them off too just in case
that can spread further.
for the rest there are plenty
showing no sign of rot and
good clean loose bunches
that should plump up well.

getting them through the rest
of the summer will be a
challenge and it's so early yet.
amazing that a large number
are already the size of a nickel
(and getting into the safe from
black rot zone now).

have a nice day,

now i have to go weed and
SAVE THE LEAF LITTER!
