Third Spray of the Season

Totally got a break today, had a nice window of sunny weather to get in a spray before several days of rainy weather, which is ripe for mildew breakouts. Applied the third spray of the season this morning:

Microthiol Disperss - 3 lb per acre
Manzate ProStick - 3 lb per acre

The herbicide we put down under the vines has taken effect, and Zack and I were shoot positioning yesterday. Seems right when we think we're caught up now it's time to mow and repair some trellis catch wires. Seve and the crew will be out on Saturday to do the suckering and help out with shoot positioning. Found a timber rattlesnake in the vineyard shed and now have to clean through the whole thing to make sure we don't have a nest in there. The good times are never ending!!! :o)
