Its been HOT here in Canterbury with barely a drop of rain since Christmas Day. Temperatures in the Garden City (that's Christchurch) hit 41C yesterday. Its unusual but the long range forecast (if you can believe such things) for the remainder of the summer is for drier and warmer conditions than usual.

The grapes are loving it but they have needed an extra drink of water lately. Without that the leaf stop photosynthesising and basal leaves start to yellow and die. Which in turn would halt berry development. Not wanting to put the commentators curse on things but this season is really starting to look very very good indeed.
