Hi,

gonna have a sample done for below the plow layer ? good idea.

rain. rain all the time it seems  in June in the eastern Townships. Just 
ridiculously rainy.  My clients had hell trying to make hay if they made any in 
June.

there is downy in 'round here (sneak peak in a local v-yard), but clos 
compton was "clean" last week except for some localized anthracnose 
(8243, prairie star, DM) and yes, some black rot (never had much). Will need 
to get serious about getting some sprays on as will be going into august's 
heavy dews soon. 

as for "lateness", I think we're almost on track down here (except for my 
vineyard chores...)
