Hardly any rain, but the vines are vigorous. Here's what it looks like after our third hedging this season.
The fruit is developing well and early; we're now at lag - the point when the seeds are hardening, just before the berries swell to full size.

This year it looks like we will have a well-balanced, good-sized crop: with a few more shoots per vine, and larger than normal berry/cluster counts. Vine/berry development is tracking very close to last year, so it's likely we will be harvesting early again this year.
