Wet and cold year, . Got the final few passes done tonight with the tiller. Drip tape causes a few early issues that I've learned. You have to get tubing laid under plant before it gets too big, but you have to be tilled before you lay any tubing.

Happy with this one after burning half the vine tips in July when I thought I lost the plant. It held a nice shape all year and brought in some colour late in the year. A bit heavy also which is always a bonus.
I'll never miss vine pruning and burying, but I would miss "loading day" and talking to the growers at the weighoff. Congratulations to Jim and Kelsey and to all who weighed fruit this year.
