(But once the grapes are gone, they're gone!)
Our vineyard will be full of change this month and next. This past weekend we've noticed a large population of birds beginning to spend time above our ripening Concord grapes. Pictured above you can see our Concord clusters turning a nice shade of purple.
We were able to borrow the 4-wheeler from our sister vineyard at The Long Shot Farm and Vineyard to run our bird netting down each side of the 12 Concord rows. Behind the 4-wheeler we pulled a small wagon with baling wrap netting. Toben was there to cut the net at the end of each row. We use paperclips to secure the net to the high and low wire. Here's to hoping we have a nice sized harvest despite the bit of bird and possibly raccoon loss we've experienced mostly on the upper rows.
