We are about 75% through fruit set as you can see.  Last year we had areas of poor set, but this year the vines are all very healthy and the weather has been perfect.

So…I’m predicting 3.9 tons of fruit this year, will have to revise it later when I do a very thorough count of the bunches.  As far as harvest, we are only a day behind on growing degree days from last year with dry weather as far as the eye can see.  Last year we harvested on 9/11 and 9/12 and I think since we have more fruit it will be 9/15 and 9/16.
