On the whole things are going well. No major pestilence. Lots of failed experiments and lots of successful ones. Spring was long so we had a good pea season. Summer was mild but moisture free for days on end. Then had a 22 day stretch of 90+. Went away during that time and had some losses. Then had a torrential 2.5 day storm which I Loved.

That leaves us here with a goodly vegetal meal and some shiraz.
