Blooming Grape Bunches

When the bunches are in full bloom, they look like bottle brushes.  Such a vulnerable two weeks! There is a forecast of possible showers, but this is definitely the time we do not want it. Our crop this year depends on the fertilizing bloom these next days. We try not to disturb the hard work of these blooms by not mowing and stirring up dust or applying approved sprays.
