I like it when they get it wrong the right way :-) I do like it when the weather sites get it wrong in the right way :-) It was supposed to be much more cloudy and less warm today than yesterday but it turned out to be the opposite :-) Still…

Really nice weather again even though a cold wind did make it feel colder. Well I could stay out of its way here in my garden so I enjoyed the sun all day long 😁

Wake

Nothing can fly with #mildew #wings,
yet the light always frees us to flight.
Takes away weight of the night.

but dry, our freedoms sing.
So let your honest ring.
See what true flight can bring.

the tombstones
#mildew,
angel #wings
etched over
names and dates
ensure the soul
flies to heaven.

Vines learn to fight with fungi Horizons - Background

🍇⚔️🍄 In the heart of the vineyards of the #Changins wine college, a war is being
played out between mushrooms and grapes. Scientists are trying to help the #vine resist #mildew and other attackers. We report from this vineyard laboratory.👇

Leaf chemistry and microbes combine to boost disease resistance in black currants Powdery mildew poses a major threat to black currant production, yet some cultivars naturally withstand infection far better than others. This study reveals that resistant black currants deploy a…
