Q and her friend Travis came out and spent four days trimming and tying up vines, punctuated by regular dips in the lake, trips to town for shave ice, and sunset dinners on the patio. They put in some good work in near-100 degree temps. She's off to college this fall, so great to have some solid time together.
Grapes are looking good. Had an attack of leafhoppers this summer. I could have sprayed and knocked them out, but decided to go the less-invasive route and place 10,000 lacewing eggs (mounted on cardboard tabs) throughout the vineyard. The lacewing larvae feed on leafhopper eggs. The leafhoppers have done some damage and for a while the issue was in doubt, but it looks like the good guys are winning the battle.
The lawn was hydroseeded last week and is coming in nicely. I'll post updated photos shortly.
