投稿の詳細: 台風並み？　A typhoon ?

午前中は天気がよくてずっと巨峰畑
で誘引作業をしてました。来週から
房切りを始めるので、新梢を誘引して
房が棚の下を向き、枝に陽がよく
当るようにするのです。

これからも新梢はどんどん伸びるので
余りきつくはやらないのですが、今年は
どういうわけか風が強くて、この間軽く留めて
おいたのに、枝が絡まったり、ぶら下がったり、
棚面が暗くなったりしていて、やり直しです。

午後になって風が猛烈に吹き始めて、まるで台風
並みです。枝があおられたり一箇所に
吹き寄せされたり。また、風の抵抗が
強く、枝がぽっきりと折れたりと大変でした。

一休みに、近くの「ガーデンソイル」さんに
お邪魔しました。友人の喫茶店が
流行りますようにとのおまじないに、
蹄鉄を買いに行ったのです。
私も一つ持っています。
今度玄関に取り付けられるように
しようかな。

It was fine in the morning. I was
doing training new shoots to the
pergola(overhead) trellis of a Kyoho
vineyard. As I will start bunch forming
next week, I need to make the bunches
hung from the trellis for easy operation
and by doing this the new shoots can receive
ample sunshine to develop next year buch
primordia.

The training of shoots are not so
stringent this time as they grow everyday
and sooner or later I have to do it again
before bunch thinning. Some how we have
many more windy days this year and the shoots
are blown to comingle and some bunches are hanging
down from the trellis.

In the afternoon, the wind started to
blow strongly and the operation got
difficult. The wind was so strong as if
it were a typhoon. The shoots were blown making
it difficult to tarin and got broken,too.

I went to Garden Soil, a plant and gardening shop
nearby to buy a horseshoe for a cafe run by a friend
of mine so that a lot of luck would come to
the business. I have one for myself, too. I kept
it on a bookshelf for long but I will arrange it
to hang at the entrance so that a lot of luck will
come to me, too.
