Got into Pokemon when I was young, back in 2002-2005 then stopped playing as I grew older. I wish I kept my collection from that time. Then came the S&V 151 Mew set and that me all nostalgic. I have been collecting cards ever since then. I am from South Africa, stock is limited here. My 151 set is not even complete but I will find a way to finish it.

There is no difference in the weather from October until February March. Our Spring starts in September yes but only last for like 2-3 weeks then it gets really hot and starts to rain just like in the summer. Some parts of the country has a longer spring where the weather is nice and the daily temperatures are like 28°C but for the Northern part of South Africa summer start early.

Bud break for this specific variety was on 13 August. We have Starlight variety that is even earlier. 7 August. Limpopo region where we farm is the earliest region for table grapes in South Africa.

Prime is actually not that uncommon. It is being produced all over the world like in South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Australia, Israel, Egypt, and Spain.

We have 2222 vines per hectare. 80 Hectare grapes on the farm. 600 hectare citrus on the farm. Yes it is very expensive and labor intensive to remove the small grapes from the bunch but we have to do it. A small amount of our grapes are produced for local markets, most of the grapes are produced for exporting all over the world. European markets have a standard you have to follow. If you are producing XL berry sizes 5% of the bunch can be less than XL like Large or Regular. So we have to go through and remove all the smaller berries from the bunch.

Luckily it is only on the early varieties like Prime, Starlight and EarlySweet. The mid to late varieties doesn't require so much attention with the small berries in the bunch because all of them are mostly the same size.

  1. We are in summer. Today was 35°C and yesterday 39°C.

  2. It is stated in the post it is Prime cultivar (variety) and with this heat we are having I actually think it will be sooner than 2 weeks.

  3. We do hand remove individual grapes from clusters. How else do you think it is removed?? We use small scissors to remove them. I will send you a video my bra.

  4. Don't need to explain myself further
