Vineyard Update

     This year we planted 150 grapevines and built the framework for the vineyard. Although the young vines are small now, they will need a strong support for the mature vines and grapes in the years to come.
     Planting the vines has been an education for us all. This week we stripped the lower leaves and tied the vines to their bamboo supports. When the vines are tall enough, we will have to train them to the wire trellis.
