Vineyard April '11

Spring is arriving slowly this year, March and April have been unusually cool and wet. The vines have been pruned and tied to the trellis just waiting for warmth and sunshine.


We've seen bud swelling and a few at the "wooly bud" stage but no sign of bud break -- perhaps in the next few weeks -- our weather promises to be sunny and cool.



The blueberry bushes have a head start on the vines with leaves and buds.

Our apple orchard is in full bud break against an ominous sky.
