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.

good day, i am looking for some advice with my lomanto’s! my name is jeff logue and i am in south georgia, 30 minutes from tallahassee fla. i have a small row with 10 lomanto’s in it that i planted as 2 year old vines in 2014! every year my shoots get black spots on them…. it looks like cavities on the young shoots that makes them die! i have been doing more research today (that’s how i came across your blog) and found that i might have a fungal infection so i went out there and pulled off every shoot with a black spot on it!? what else can i do? what should i spray them with? i have black manucca’s and several types of muscadine right next to them and they never have a problem!
thnx jeff
Hey, It sounds like you have Anthracnose or bird’s-eye rot, but could be a severe case of Black Rot too. Bottom line, you need to spray an antifungal, and often during the growing season. If you haven’t had bud break yet, you should apply a dormant spray ASAP. Lime and Sulfur works well; you can buy some premix or google a Bordeaux spray, cooper, and lime. Once you have bud break get Captan to spray every 10-14 days. Here is a link that might help. http://www.cropcare.com.au/Assets/10/
