Putting the bird netting up

The Blanc Dubois is going through veraison as well, but because they are white grapes, its hard to tell.  They will turn golden yellow soon.  Brix is 14 on the ripest berries.

Bird netting is up!

I learned last year to close the bottom of the nets tightly.  Between the birds and the raccoons they will get in the smallest gaps.

I’ve been robbed! Maybe I’m not cut out for farming!!!

I cleaned my picking bins, and was ready to pick the Black Spanish grapes, but as I walked up I noticed something.  ALL the grapes were gone!  WTH!  I put up the netting!  Where did they go!  I don’t see any feathers or other clues that thousands of birds must have had a feast at my expense.
