I hope so too... but I don't think that will happen.

My strapping ox of a boy at an awesome age 19 almost 20, still has a bit of a cough after 3 weeks.

-sigh-

I don't like this kind of sharing.

That mess went all over the country! Everyone had the cough for a month or two after wards. So sorry.

depends on the kind and where you are.

My dad's mom had 1 huge wild Spanish (just for jelly, to tart to be table grapes) and one fancy table grape (don't remember what kind)

She never sprayed stuff. That Wild Black Spanish always had a huge load! (as long as you got them before the birds) The table grape vine would have anywhere from zero to 3 clusters. and it was way older than I was.

But... it didn't die. And every so often my grandfather wold oops and mow it to ground level with the lawn mower. So, pretty impressive it even lived.

Thanks for the info! That's helpful. I found this thing about milk recently, well someone found it, a milk spray thingy. supposed to stop powdery mildew on squash and possibly even help fruit trees. wonder if it would work on grapes.

I think it depends on the kid.

kid 1 is fine and always has been (except for age 10 months until age 4. A bit of a rough patch around age 14, but shorter than a year)

2 has always been an eyeroll. but wowsers can he turn on charm when he wants to.

3, and 5 are almost as easy as 1 was

4 is one of those quiet but deadly stealth ninjas. You think things are great... but then you are surprised by walking into a kill zone. I think he is working through it. I am hoping when he is 14 that will be worked out.

Aw love the descriptions haha

Your welcome. I'll be getting a few myself.
I found these doing research on Double A Vineyards
I don't see a brand name though. But they are only 1.75 each from them.

Interesting about the blue light thing

You know @Alaskan you pretty smart normally but had how many kids took you thought long to figure it out

 

[Alaskan]

nah... I love my kids... they are the joy of my world.

I would have had 1 more for an even 6, but I am just too old. (wanna retire more than a week before I die)

 

[pennyJo1960]

Understand that glad you were able then

 

[chickadoodles]

KDOGG your welcome.

Would you mind sharing the info on spraying milk for powdery mildew? I read something about that somewhere several years ago. But can't recall where.
With the plastic sleeves it will keep you plants organic even if you have to use a fungicide on the leaves. That's the best part.

Something's wrong, I'm not seeing a pot of coffee anywhere!

So I fixed up a big one and you all can help yourselves to all you want

How about pastries, are there any apple fritters in the Cafe this morning?

 

[sourland]

Apple fritters ? Are you fantasizing ? Thanks for the coffee. I brought some day old Krispy Kremes.

 

[Treerooted]

Nothing sweet to share here, just toast.
But I will partake in a cup of coffee.
Sunny again out my window, but windy

I made french toast and brownies. Help yourself. Bacon over on the griddle. Good morning.
