出雲市の新就農者交流会がありました。圃場見学バスツアーの中で、斐川の花、平田の柿、出雲のアスパラガスと大社のぶどうを見ました。ぶどうのは僕でした。 去年かん水設備を設置をした事を発表をしました。様々の作物の就農が参加して、とても面白かったです。
Grapes for breakfast
My family complaint they didn’t have delaware grapes, and the season for these grapes is almost over. So I got some delaware grapes from a friend. It reminded me when I was a kid and my grandmother bought grapes like these in Colombia. The grapes were from Chile, and they had seeds and a thick skin.
網張り
まだ島根県では梅雨です、暑い日が多いです。雨よけ栽培のシャインマスカット畑は熟れるの始まりました。果実は柔らかいけど、まだ糖度はひくいです。換気のためにハウスの谷を開けってありました、でも鳥が入るから、谷の網をはりました。雨よけの畑の収穫の予定は9月上旬です。早い畑の収穫は7月下旬です。

さて, 春にLana Del Rey が新しいアルバム Lust For Life を発表しました。昨日はそのアルバムの歌、Summer Bummer と Groupie Love も発表しました。 これら歌はコラボレーションです。アルバムのタイトル曲、Lust For Life はとても良い曲です。
夏期せん定

ぶどうの枝管理は大切です。枝が多すぎると収穫が遅れます、でも枝が少ないと果実の日焼けがあります。二番目の畑の収穫の予定は8月上旬です。来週、袋掛け前に、枝管理をしました。今年はこの畑はとても強くなって、枝がよく伸びした。昼休みにBBCのニュースを読みます。昨日はコロンビアの記事がありました、Colombia country profile.
農作業体験
Berry Thinning
These days I am working on the less developed vineyards. These grapes will ripen around the end of August. The work consists of manually removing berries from each bunch. This will make a nice bunch with large berries. A bunch with 30 to 35 berries will weigh around 600 g. I usually listen to music while doing berry thinning.
Sheryl Crow, one of my favorite singers, recently released a new album. ‘Be Myself’ is back to rock, like her earlier works. Watch the video and listen to Halfway There.
Lazy and Busy
1月からとても忙しかったです。1月下旬に加温と無加温のハウスの準備を始めました。今年はほぼ全部のぶどうの樹が去年より成長したのでぶどうの量と作業も増えました。
ぽんぽん船[障がい者福祉施設のNPO法人]の他の方にお手伝いいただいています。天気が良ければ、シャインマスカットの収穫開始の予定は7月下旬からです。
なかなかブログの更新が出来ませんでした。ナマケモノです。
I have been very busy since the season started. From end of January I closed two greenhouses, one of them for heating.
This year most of the vines have reached their full size and fruit bearing capacity. Therefore labor also increased compared to last year’s. This season I also get help from Pon Pon Sen (NOP working with people with disabilities) and other people.
Shine muscat harvest will start from end of July and will extend until September, depending on the weather.
I have been too lazy to write here.

Night out
This year a group of fathers from my daughter’s nursery asked me to join them and go out. They meet regularly to socialize and talk about parenting. Recently I went out for the second time. Since now I am not too busy and in the first occasion the ice was broken, this time it was more relaxing for me. Talk was fun, food was OK and lots of drinks. The next day hangover remind me of going out in Colombia.
In Colombia drinking is different, in bars there is always music and in many there is dancing too. Even if you don’t know each other you can ask someone to dance. Or dance by yourself. I used to go to a bar with friends and by myself, and when I was drunk dance by myself too. One of my favorite songs in that bar was Emotional Rescue by The Rolling Stones.
