It took me an hour and twenty minutes to prune the vineyard this evening. It is amazing what one can do with a battery powered headlight. The Lomanto, one of the Doaniana Montague crosses and couple of the Cinerea x Mourvedre crosses are starting to display swollen buds, but everything else is still sleeping. The variation in Cinerea x Mourvedre crosses will be worth paying more attention to as things develop.
It was an interesting evening. There was talk of a comet being visible at sundown, but we didn't see anything. I got to see the first signs of progress on the pergola. The pergola is going provide an overhead growing environment for the top 4 rows in the west vineyard. I'm interested in seeing if this helps my efforts to improve the soil by shading it from the summer sun.
