Hi,

We are in southwest Ontario, near Kitchener, or about 1.5 hour drive north
of lake Erie.  If we are getting air pollution it is drifting in from
Illinois at least 2-3 hours drive to the southwest.  We are in an
agricultural area, and very rural, about the same as zone 5 in the U.S..

We are having cool nights, but no frost yet.  We are getting lots of rain
after a long summer drought, and I am begining to see powdery mildew on
all the grapes.  I did not have to spray all summer, as pests never showed
up (except grape beetle in the spring).

But I do not know what this yellowing is.  Just hoping it is tied to the
end of the season.

Later,
Tom
