Working the Vineyard

We are exhausted having finished the second pass of suckering and thinning the vineyard and tying the vines. This is a big job behind us and took two and half weeks. We also hoed the vineyard as we worked through saving a whole other pass.

The days have been mild if not a little cold, but warmer days are forecast for the weekend. The vineyard is flowering and a few advanced vines have set fruit. The growing season is coming along nicely - everything looks great (fingers crossed). The new Petite Sirah replacements are growing nicely, of course, they get hand watered every third day.
