We had almost two inches of needed rain yesterday and this morning. With the high humidity and a little too much rain additional inspections are needed at the stump, stem, blossom and anywhere a previous cut has been made. Looking for any soft spots that can turn quickly into rot to get ride of. A knife, scissors or even a rag to rub with easily takes care of most issues. Sometimes I apply a light dust of fungicide dust with a Q-tip. All four of my kins have developed curable issues which if not caught and treated in time would have quickly caused their failure. They still make me nervous. Inspections is more important than vine bury at this point.
