Another 14 mm of rain yesterday

We didn’t need this: downy mildew is here, everywhere, on every grape variety, mainly on young leaves, on lateral shoots, but all it needs is rain to thrive.
The first attacks of brown rot (downy mildew) on bunches are also starting. A few bunches, a few berries, but it is becoming widespread, especially in the most susceptible parcels.
