Well, another interesting day in the patch.
Top left - new vines are kicking in and a lot of females are showing up. Photo shows two. Looks like I can begin trying to pollinate again in a week or so.
Top Right - However, I'm still seeing yellowing, and now it has moved to some older leaves. A couple growers have now mentioned it could be YVD. It's starting to look more like a possibility. :( But I haven't fertilized in a long time and I am still waiting on my soil test results. More observation over the next 4-5 days should be interesting. I'm going to put down a tiny amount of fert tomorrow just to see if perks up the color a touch.
Middle left - Poor vine management means that I have a lot of older leaves that attach to the vine underneath. (Training differently now.) Trapping water is a concern so I put some sulfur in the stem. Good idea?
Middle Right - New SVB damage in secondary. Found some other areas as well. Watching to see if more show up over the next week.
Bottom left - Stump still showing new rot. Get out the scalpel...
Bottome right - Whoah!! Bet you haven't seen a stump like that before. :) I decided to excise all the bad tissue - and I mean all. It won't be moving much nutrients now, but I want to see if I can save it. Just to see if I can. ;) Good learning to see how much to dig in to wounds, and still get them to heal. If I can get this to heal, I can heal anything. *grin*
