Gardens or vines, philosophy or ecology or maybe all these subjects and more, with perhaps a drop of wine.

Grape Futures (5)
Just a quick look at the grapes (yes, these fruits are beginning to resemble grapes) to see how they are doing. They will look like this until they reach veraison, when they will start to gain colour, soften and swell and start to contain fructose and lose some acidity. Around this period the birds and other animals such as wild boar will also start to take a keen interest in them (just like our strawberries, of which more later). Another potential hazard for the vineyard owner.
