Picking Apples
Picked some Granny Smith apples today with my trusty trident (picking tool). Some of these guys were huge.

Picking day is here!
The Blanc Dubois and the Lomanto are as close to ready as they are going to get. We’ve had a ton of rain over the last couple of weeks. It rains every other day and extended forecast shows two solid weeks of rain coming. Brix and ph isn’t where I hoped it would be. The rain is keeping the brix down and forcing the ph up. It’s not going to get any better soon.
My helpers did an awesome job today. Got 250lbs of Blanc Dubois. Not bad for young vines. Next year I should be able to get a much bigger harvest. Had to stop picking 3/4 of way through due to monsoon that dumped about 2” of rain in 30min on us. Sun came back out, and picked the rest after some time to dry out.
