VASCM: Newsletter & Vine Talk on the Website; Meeting Next Week

[Mary Lindsay, Muns Vineyard]

The latest issue of the VASCM newsletter is now on the website at 
www.vascm.org, as is the latest Vine Talk. You can find them linked from 
the home page; just scroll down under Meetings & Events. You can find 
some commiseration there about the continued wet weather...

Our next meeting is:
next Wednesday, June 15, 3:00pm, at Vine Hill Winery:

The topic: Plant Tissue Analysis & Fertigation
with CLIFF Low of Perry Labs 
<http://www.perrylaboratory.com/index.shtml>, Watsonville.
www.perrylaboratory.com

Cliff (yes, Cliff, not Chris) will talk about plant tissue analysis as 
the basis for determining the nutrient status of your vines and 
improving plant nutrition. This includes when, what and why to sample, 
and how to use the results to design an as needed fertilizer program.

As usual, please bring a bottle of wine to share.

Speaking of the wet Spring, as if we really need to hear this, an 
article in the Press Democrat talks about the threat of "Weather 
interfering with grape pollination" in Sonoma:

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting on the 15th.
