Vineyard Aug 18, 1919 Cape Town, South Africa

Vineyard with an angle furrow through residual growth. (They do not plant but allow the natural growth to constitute the cover.) Soil rather dark - loam to sand - with granitic rocks finely powdered - looks rich. Erodium cicutarium called Goesbloem. Near this a planting of what they call barley wheat, a hulless [sic] barley if I am not mistaken. Also a young crop (3 inches high) and one coming into head at the same time.
