Vineyard Diary

As promised, here's a couple of snaps of the progress in the Twin Vines block. It looks a little chaotic in there at the moment - the vineyard floor needs to be mowed to mash the vine cuttings that remain, and the vine row weeds that have been hoed and placed in the middles. Also, the recent rains and warmer temps are causing the grasses to grow. However, the tractor cannot get into the vine rows until the trellis work is complete - which will be pretty soon!

As you can see in the photos, all end-posts are in place and the line trellis stakes have been pounded. We'll hopefully post more photos of a clean and tidy vineyard in a week or two. But right now, we think the progress is great and we're looking forward to a happier and more manageable vineyard from now on!
