投稿の詳細: ピノの畑

昨日午後から少々標高の高い場所にあるピノノワールの畑で、12月に幼木に巻いておいた防寒用藁をはずして剪定を初めました。春の畑は穴だらけです。鼠の穴です。藁をどけると、木の間近にこんな穴が開いています。根っこをかじられてなければいんだけれど。この畑は植えた年の冬に凍害にあって、200本のピノのうち2割近くが死んでしまいました。去年は防除をしっかりとやり、病気にかかることなくたっぷり光合成を行わせたので、此の春見る樹は皆元気そうです。今年はかなり期待がもてそう。昨日からの黄砂のせいか、今日は冬に戻ったような寒さで雪が舞うかと思ったほどです。昨日は暑いくらいだったのですが。ほんとに変な天気です。

The anti-cold injury straws wrapped around the vines were removed. There are so many rats holes! Hope they did not enjoy my vines' roots during winter. Pinot Noir vines had been damaged by cold injury last winter and about 20% were dead. More care was taken last year and the vines look ok now. Expect good harvest this year. It was very cold today. Is it because of the yeollow sands blown from China? The visibility has been quite low for two days now and the wind shield of my car is very dusty. I wondered if it would snow today. The weather is really strange.
