投稿の詳細: 園地点検　Inspection.

今日も朝から降ったり止んだり
ほぼ終日雨の天気だった。
午前中雨の中の作業を終え
午後は園地点検。

農協のぶどう部会員が
グループで各人の畑を
廻り、着果量を調べる。
不適正（房のつけすぎや
大房）だと不合格となり
再検査となる。例年
不合格となる園地が数例
出る。

私は一応合格で、袋掛けを
始められるのだが、1週間前に
摘粒した房ががちがちになっている。
雨が多いので玉伸び（粒肥大）が
好すぎるのだ、既に例年の（この
時期の）110％に達しているらしい。
このままだと裂果の恐れが
あるので、摘粒の見直しを
やる必要がある。

It rained, stopped, and rained again
whole day today. After work in the
morning, we had Vineyard Inspection
this afternoon.

The members of Grapegrowers registered
with JA formed a few groups to visit
each other's vineyards and checked the
bunch size and expected harvest. If too many
bunches were left for harvest and if too big
bunches were left, you would got 'not passed'
and had to thin the berry number and bunch
number for second inspection. Every year there
are a few vineyards with 'not passed' in our
local grapegrowers area.

I got all 'passed' so far and now am
able to start wrapping. However, the berry
grew so big in one week and the bunches
have become too tight already. So I have to
check bunches again before wrapping.
According to the official observation of
standard vines, the berry size has reached
110% of that of the average year of this
time. The inner berries of the bunches may
break if they get too big.
