Fruit thinning and I might need stitches
Sad day in vineyard today! Not supposed to let the fruit set the first two years on you grapevines. I had to go through and pinch off all the small bunches of grapes.
Technically these are just the pre-bloom buds, and not grapes yet. First they flower then start making fruit. On the bright side the vines are producing hundreds of these little guys. I bet I just pinched off what would have been the equivalent of several hundred pounds of fruit if left to mature.
And while not paying attention in the tool shed, I slipped and fell on my bush axe. I had my gloves on so minimal damage. On the bright side, I didn’t lose an appendage and I learned how to superglue my cut shut. Of course I used some hydrogen peroxide first to clean it up. The glue really does work. I was able to get right back to work. No trip to the ER today!
