枯葉

最近は気温が下がりました、ブドウの葉が落ちます。畑かんを使ってかん水するハウスがあります。11月16日から30日までは畑かんが使えないです。

Just finished cutting the logs. The last one was the biggest, and the most difficult to cut. It is thicker than the chainsaw blade, very heavy and laying on the ground. I made halfway cuts, rolled it over and cut from above again. It was my second day using a chainsaw.

Firewood

Recently I finished the soil amendment work, and now I have time before the pruning season in December. When we moved into the house last year, there was plenty of firewood for the wood burning stove. Last year the stove was the main heating appliance we used. It is possible to buy seasoned firewood, but it is expensive. So I decided to stock the firewood for next year.

For the job I got the tools, a chainsaw, a splitting maul, a big hammer and wedges. A couple of day ago I bought over 1.5 ton of hard green wood, but it was not cheap. The logs are 170 cm long and up to 40 cm in diameter. It is going to take a while and sweat to split all that wood. But learning how to do it is fun too.

秋が感じる

まだ天気が良い、でもだんだん寒くなて来ました。気温が下がると紅葉が進みます。畑によて少し違います。土壌改良途中ですがボチボチやっています。

大分日が短くなりました。寝る時間が長くなりました。

Animal

A wild ride, over stony ground
Such a lust for life, the circus comes to town
We are the hungry ones, on a lightning raid
Just like a river runs, like a fire needs flame, oh
I burn for you
I gotta feel it in my blood, whoa oh
I need your touch, don’t need your love, whoa oh
(And I want, and I need)
(And I lust, animal)
(And I want, and I need)
(And I lust, animal)…”

Today I am going to a concert of one of my favorite bands. Def Leppard’s Hysteria 30 years World Tour.

土壌改良

今年の土壌改良は堆肥を入れます。それから苦土石灰、マンガンとホウ素. 毎年堆肥を入れない、量が多いですから。堆肥一台は約3トンですが、畑は10aより小さいです。一年間に半分ぐらいの成分が土壌に入ります。窒素は約24㎏です!

`Head Above Water` is the new single from Avril Lavigne.

収穫後

これからの作業はハウスの事、防除と土壌改良です。防除の前は谷の網を片付け、それから谷を閉じます。今日は加温栽培のハウスの網を方付けました。週末は雨と台風が来る、来週の良い天気の日に防除をしたいんです。

‘In The Blue Light’ is the new album from Paul Simon. It has new versions of old songs, mainly jazz verions. I like ‘Can’t Run But’.

収穫が終わりました

9月29日に収穫が終わりました。台風24号は心配です。今年は変な天気でした、春は暑かったです。コロンビアでも、世界中でも天気が変わっています。ぶどうの生理障害が出ましたけど、今年はまま良かったです。

収穫の終わりは新しい週の始まり。新しい目的。みんな目的があるけど目的が違う。’We all have a hunger’. Hunger by Florence + The Machine.

 

 

 

Good Weather

This week the weather is much better. I am glad for it, and the grapevines too. Grapevines love sunshine!!

A few days ago I came across a new version of an album from one of my favorite bands, ‘Heavy Horses’ by Jethro Tull. It plays awesome in my new bluetooth speaker. Listen for yourself!
