We even have our first baby grapes. On the block I pruned -- before the Queen got to it -- I left kicker/sacrificial canes as well. The last 2 years we've had much rainfall -- this year there's been much less rain, so I suspect the vines will be better behaved (and thirsty). Well, it's off to finish rewiring those broken poles, and to fine tune the trellis system (we're working on making it a bit higher to handle more of that growth). Happy pruning, happy vineyarding.Craig Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17991879972329160420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-82015790071105535652012-03-04T03:32:53.945-08:002012-03-04T03:32:53.945-08:00Another post like this and I'll be dropping of...Another post like this and I'll be dropping off another pigs head!Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.com
