Weekly Notes 2002

This Week's Notes: Week 48 - Chianti has low vigor and small leaves and bracts. It needs a longer growing time to produce a full appearance and stronger stems. As we see this year however, it can elongate, so some growth regulators are needed. This crop was affected by the warm temperatures and needs another week or so to develop full bract expansion. Next year we will use the same schedule.
