A significant hail storm (significant in size of hail and duration of event) rolled through here last evening at the end of the heat wave. My small vineyard took a beating with many bunches showing bruised and punctured skin. Should I give up on the hope of harvesting for this year or sulphur the bunches to try to save what’s still good? Harvest wouldn’t be for another 8 weeks. Will the damaged grapes rot and invite disease/insects. I have about 100 vines. My neighbours are commercial wineries and I feel really bad for them.

By and large I control and am aware of all the inputs of my compost, still I find weird shit in it. Where did this tiny, heavy, rusted out padlock come from?
