The season is racing ahead. Rainfall has been above average. Daytime temperatures have been above average, as have the overnight minimums. (See table below) Flowering is complete and the berries seem to have set well. We are keeping a very watchful eye out for Powdery Mildew and for Downy Mildew. The last big danger day was 8th November when rainfall and temperatures were right for an outbreak.
