連日猛暑です。
雨が多かったせいで非常に蒸します。
帰省の季節ももうすぐですね。

葡萄の摘粒も終盤に差し掛かり
多めに親子葡萄を落とした当農園では
袋をかけ始めた畑もあります。

そんななか、山葡萄が元気です。
ほとんど防除もしていないのに
今のところ病気にもならずにいます。

We have very warm days everyday after the rainy
Season was over. Due to the heavy rain, we have
high humidity, too.　The season of going back home
to the country side is just around the corner.

Berry thinning in the vineyards is getting to the end
and we have started wrapping. We have smaller crops this
year because we have dropped many millrendage bunches.

Indigenous grape looks fine. With little spraying they have
not shown any sign of disease at all.

梅雨の終わりを告げる雨なのか、
とんでもない大雨が降った。約1時間。
一瞬でも外にいたらずぶ濡れになりそうな
降り。しかも雷も。

畑にはあっと言う間に幾筋もの川が出現。

昼間見た入道雲が
連れて来たのだろうか。

Is it the rain that ends the rainy season?
We had very big shower late afternoon for
about one hour. If you were out there even
for a moment, you would surely get wet to
the skin. It came along with thunders and lightning.
Suddenly many creeks appeared
in the farm yards.

I wonder if the towering cloud during the day
brought such heavy rain together?

朝方の雨がやんだので
防除に出た。途中降ってきて中断。
しばらくして上がったので残りを
打つ。一時終日雨の予報も出たのだが、
結局夕方まで降らなかった。

寝る前、朝、出かける前、等々
携帯やインターネットで天気予報を頻繁に
チェックする。その度に予報が変わっているのだが。
なぜかな～？
あたってもあたらなくても頼りにしているのだ。

As it stopped raining in the morning,
I went out for spraying in the vineyards.
But it started raining and I had to stop
for a while. After a while, I started spraying
again as the rain stopped. The weather forecast
said it would rain whole day at one time but
actually it did not rain until very late afternoon
then.

I always check weather forecast by mobile phone,
PC, radio, etc very often. Today the forecast
kept changing each time I checked the forecast.
Whether
it is correct or not, I have no choice but
relying on the forecast in order to make my mind.

雨が続いている。
今週は朝防除をする予定が
毎朝雨で、延期に告ぐ延期。
現在巨峰の摘粒をやっているが
病気が入っている房を
見つけることも多い。
こういう年は珍しい。
早く梅雨が明けて欲しい
ものだ。

たたくような雨。

It rains everyday.
I was supposed to spray in the vineyards
this week but had to put off due to the
rain.

During the berry thinning operation of
Kyoho grape, I often sight the bunch with
disease which is not common for other years.

I wish the rainy season will be over soon.

午前５時くらいにザーッと雨が
降ったがすぐにやんで穏やかな曇り空
が広がった。昨日と同じパターン。
昨日は、午前中は天気が持ったのだ…。
そのせいか、草刈の帰り道
今朝は防除をするssをちらほら
畑の中で見かけた。雨続きなので、病気が
目に付くし、一瞬の
時間を狙って防除したくなる気持ちは
よく分かる。しかし、今日はまたすぐに
雨となってしまった。

明日は終日曇りの予報。
私も朝は防除に出よう。

It rained like a shower at around 5am today
but it stopped soon and became cloudy which was
same weather as yesterday. It did not rain then during
the morning yesterday. Therefore I found a few spraying
vehicles running in the vineyards this morning.
I was easily able to imagine that the farmers wanted
to spray against disease due to recent rainy weather.
However, it started raining again soon this morning and
it did very heavily.

The cloudy weather is forecasted for tomorrow now.
I am prepared to go out for spraying tomorrow morning.
