Been a while since I've updated...


Here are some pics of the Vineyard in June-July?

a couple vines mysteriously damaged somehow- likely 24D

I cut all that growth off and the new growth is ok.
Also, some circada damage or something?

The new protector of the sheep!

Looks vicious huh?

Also, keeping me busy is this tree fort for my kids (the older one is too cool for pictures). the begining stages:

Some grape fun:

Looking good over there, except for the damage.

That 24D damage looks similar to what I found on my vines this year. I have never been able to figure out where it came from. This area is all woods and pasture land.



The other photo does look like it is from a cicada.



Great looking vineyard!

Same here mark. The two vines that had damage was opposite of the road and surrounded by our feilds and woods. I can't figure it out. Thank goodness they've recovered.

It makes you wonder about what the kids are breathing!!
Michigan has banned some forms of 24Din the grape growing areas because it can cause damage to crops for miles down wind.
