投稿の詳細: 秋らしい天気　Autumnal weather at last.

今朝少々の雨。
予定していた作業はお流れ。
その後雨は上がり、
秋らしい天気になった。
巨峰の収穫も今日はないので
ワイン葡萄を見回って、
草刈り。雨が多いので草が
今でも随分と伸びる。

ワイン葡萄は、たっぷり水を吸った
せいかコンパクトな房のなかで
粒がつぶれ、変色
してしまっているものが多い。
そういう房は残念だが落とさなければ
ならない。

葡萄が傷む前に収穫を始めたいのだが
糖度がまだ上がっていないので、
もう少し待たねばならない。
種の色もまだ青く、熟すには
まだしばらくはかかりそうだし。
天気が続けば葡萄も
もちそうなのだが（という期待）。

Due to the little rain this morning, a scheduled
work was cancelled. The sky cleared up later and
it turned to be a fine autumnal day. As I did not
harvest Kyoho grapes today, I went out to check
wine grapes and later mowed in the vineyard.
Weeds have grown a lot because of the continued
rain since mid August.

I found many winegrape bunches rottened and
turned to brown colour. In the compact bunches, berries sucked
water and splitted to attract germs. I had no choice
but to drop such bunches reluctanly.

Looking at the grape condition, I want to start
harvesting before they are wasted but the sugar level
is not high enough and the greenish seed colour
indicates insufficient ripeness. It will take some
more time for harvest. I hope that better weather will continue and that the grapes will not be damaged any more.
