River Vineyard update

We are making progress on the River Vineyard.  It is about half an acre.

Why the River?  Because the Pierce Disease pressure is higher by the water.  This will weed out the crosses with no PD tolerance.

Here is a photo of the soil.  There is a lot of clay and very fine sand.  I'll be getting some soil samples analyzed.
