今年の収穫は9月いっぱい掛かるそうです。最近一人で出荷作業をしています、急ぐことはないです。でも雨が降ると時間は長くなります。今日は4番目のハウスのブドウを収穫しました。房に新聞紙の傘を掛けました。8月はとても暑く日光は多かったです、ですからブドウはとても美味しい。雨の時アマガエルは木を登ります。

今日収穫したブドウはこれです。

美味しくて新鮮なブドウをお届けします。注文受付中です。

I recently bought a portable speaker maily for my work packing the grapes. During August I got help and I usually harvested 180 kg per day. But now there is no hurry to pick the grapes, so I work alone while listening to music. I plan to harvest about 100 kg each day, and there is one third of the grapes to harvest, maybe 1 ton. So it is going to take a while.

Twenty years ago, when first I came to Japan for a masters in Geology, I got my self a MD player and also portable speaker that I used during harvest until last year, and it still works. I threw away the MD player when we moved last year.

 

I am pretty happy with the sound for the cost of the speaker. I also have a free Spotify subscription and I can use both the ipod and my phone. Easyly go back in time,  Domindo Dancing  by Pet Shop Boys.

８月末に3番目のハウスのブドウの収穫が始まりました。今年は5年生の樹です、良い房が出来ました。

週末は娘が作業場で手伝ってもらいました。

 

美味しい新鮮なブドウを心を込めて農園から直接お届けします。

Few days before end of summer vacation, my son spent the day with me and helped too. Before that my kids stayed with their grandparents during the weekdays, coming home for the weekends.

Today my son and I went to check the irrigation system in two greenhouses, we also gave some grapes to friends. Then we took some grapes to a farmer’s market. There we put labels and left them on the shelf. Many times there are grapes left after packing for the local cooperative. Last year also my son helped during harvest.

My son likes fishing, so then we went to a couple of shops and he bought some bait and did lots of window shopping.

今週３日間はいずもえんさんの研修生が来ました。いずもえんさんは調整作業に手伝いっています。研修生が色んな作業を体験しました、コンーテナーを組み立てる、パックのフィルムを貼り、ブドウの掃除、袋詰めまででした。とても丁寧作業をして、頑張りました。今週はとても暑かったです。

大きい房は粒バリとても良かったです。夜が涼しいくなると箱詰めをしながら音楽を聞きます。Here is a great new song by Maroon 5, Girls Like You.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This morning when I drove to ship the grapes, the sea was foggy and cool. It is a 10 minute drive that goes along the coast, over the hills and to a plain. But later the day was hot and the sunshine was covering it all, steady, quiet, straight.

天気が良すぎるから二番目ハウスの収穫が同時にしています。一人は出来ない4人で作業をしています。

朝早くブドウを撮って、作業場で調整作業をします。音楽お聞きながら一人で夜遅くまでやります。

 

This year’s harvest just started. Weather is good, but hotter than last year’s. It has been 100 days after the bloom of the earliest vineyard. The second greenhouse is also ready for harvest, 95 days after bloom. It is going to be a lot of work too. This time some guys are giving a hand, there are new faces too.

Recently I am listening to Silvio Rodriguez. It takes me to the time when I went to high school and university in Colombia. It brings back good memories and feelings also, after so long ago and soo far away.  Canto Arena by Silvio Rodriguez.
