No harvest

There was no harvest this year, as a result of cutting back and spraying too late, combined with bad weather conditions. Very few grapes grew, and most of those had mildew.


4 buckets were all I picked, most of which we put in a juicer rather than eat.

This year to buy grapes for winemaking costs twice of last year, about 150 Ft/kilo (50 Eurocents) - that's considered very expensive.


Some more pics:





Some nice baby carrots and end-of-season apples though!

  1. Patrick, after reading through your blog I find it very sad that you did not have a harvest this year - it reminded me the Irish folk song Kilkelly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF1EInqM2FI) - I hope your situation is a little better :)
