St Jude’s Vineyard
I am resolved to describing and documenting this farm, so that 5 or 10 years from now it will be fairly simple, and cost effective, to own it and run it, on site or absentee.
We have 2.5 acres in Monterey County California. We have fully landscaped it with dozens of fruit trees and olive trees and a small, 200-vine vineyard. We’ve been organic farmers and gardeners for 50 years. We have developed this acreage from obtaining the property, and a newly built house, in 2001.
This blog could have been a manual with separate chapters discussing plantings, weather, water, soil, as well as the care and harvesting of grapes, olives, avocados, cherries, apples, etc. But I think a blog is better. First, everything is tied up to the seasonal patterns. Second, what is required in running this farm is specific to the time of year. Third, I never liked manuals or textbooks, other than for direct reference. I’ve always been hands on with the learning.
So, today is Saturday, June 13. Summer starts in a week or so, but we’ve already had dozens of 80 and 90 degree days. We are in the Coastal Zone so our dominant warm weather pattern is a marine layer that comes in late morning to mid-day, most often without fog - which is a big change from our first 10 years or so here, with highs in the 60s. This is the first spring I can remember, all of 10 years now anyway, that the grape vines didn’t turn yellow by mid-May. Yellow from lack of nitrogen. Lackof nitrogen due to inadequate uptake from cool weather, cold vines.

Lastly, keep away from “gambler’s conceit,” which occurs when you’re up, enjoying 카지노 사이트 in} with winnings, or on a hot streak. You start to assume, “Maybe I should guess extra since I’m doing so well,” and “Sure, I could walk away with more than I began with, but maybe I should see this through...” Bad thought.
