Haven't been on line a lot lately. Step-son was here for a week then had to overhall the computer which took 3 days because it was so messed up. then a lot of frute was ready for picking. I am also appling for a Ventors license (lots of paper work). Crab apples are at their peek now, Pears will be ready in about 2 weeks, Apples are in now and the Concords are ready.This is the best year I have seen in several years for concords. So far I have picked and destimed 136 lbs of them all by hand. They are in the freezer right now. They are not riponing at the same time so have to be very selective in picking, also having problem with them splitting due to too much water. There is probably at least another 150 lbs still on the vines that are riponing very slow. Should have pruned more of the canopy. We are supposed to have another 8 days of full sun so it should speed things up. With inventory getting low need to start ferminting. Here is the list of things I have ready to fermint
Mulberry
Jalapino
choke cherry
crab apple
wild grapes
dried hibiscus
dried day lillies
concord
with the apples and pears comming on I should be busy all winter. Plus I will be remodling my wood working shop to a winery and redoing a storage shed to a wood working shop. Good thing I am retired.
