Getting close to harvest time on our grape vine, pictured above.
I'm guessing about a week till these two bunches are ripe. Maybe another week or two of ripening for the rest of the plant.
I decided to pick a test cluster, just for gauging the ripeness of course...
Here is the test cluster.
After washing, the wife and I sat back with an adult beverage and sampled.
You might see a few split grapes on the bunch. That is the result of botrytis, a fungus that affects the grapes. I treat with sulfur, but it's hard to get 100% of the grapes not to split.
Oh, the test? Yeah, they passed...they were delicious!
