My Reed is Reeding

This is the first fruit on the tree. I hope it sticks! I planted a pollinator Lamb next to it. Seeing a lot of fruit this year. We have many avocado trees in the neighborhood, but I have doubts that the insects will travel back and forth between the avocado trees enough to be effective.

How to exclaim “Of course!”

I have learned that por supuesto means of course, but I sense it is not the proper translation for all situations. For example, if I have made a mistake and then learn that I was incorrect, how would I exclaim Of course!

Nano vineyard in front of house.

14 Zinfandel vines in front yard, 15 Zinfandel vines in back yard. 3 years old. It does not make a lot of wine but it is a lot of fun, and my, oh my how the neighbors talk.
I have not irrigated this year, and I might not need to. We have heavy clay soil in San Jose, CA. These vines grow like crazy and even hedging them just results in more lateral growth. Zinfandel 3.1 on SO4 rootstock, the SO4 may explain the excess vigor. I finally have the spur positions set on the front vines. The poor vines in the back have been moved a couple of times now due to poor planning. Zinfandel is finicky. Some vines have initial buds push, then the shoots wither and secondary buds push and form the canes. It may just happen on young vines, the older vines seem to not show the problem.
