Never before have the juice grapes begun ripening this early, must be the drought and intense heat....
BETA GRAPES
VALIANT GRAPES
Both are a very hardy Concord type grape.....
Usually I just make breakfast juice with them and in the past have made jelly.The last batch of Welch's Concord Wine I added a few quarts of drinking juice, just to see if it would change it any, couldn't tell any difference.
We haven't watered the older grapes, they are out there making it on their own...they are juicy and getting sweet...an amazing fruit....but look at how they grow in the wine producing areas of California and Europe, hot, dry and gravely soil...so they must have gotten what they like around here this year...No diseases either and didn't spray to try out the new products....
THEN THERE IS THE SWEETCORN....
The early variety has come and gone, the main crop was too young a few days ago and today it is getting ripe...had to freeze up some today...
Round One....17 pakages...
Round 2 tomorrow...
Never before have I froze sweetcorn this early in the season....We did water it, the ears are smaller than normal, but good...
So the heat units and growing degrees won out this year....but unirrigated corps are a failure...
