Bud Break
Spring has now officially arrived with the first woolly buds beginning to unfurl. The little shoots are very vulnerable to the elements and things will be a little uneasy around here over the couple of months, especially with the memories of last year’s catastrophic frost still fresh in our minds. We’ve had two ‘one in twenty year’ frosts over the previous three vintages, so at least the odds look good.
On a brighter note, the ground is nice and full after a wonderful winter soak so there’s no immediate plans to start watering just yet. With good moisture in the soil the stage is set for some nice even spring growth – provided the weather keeps doing what we tell it.
THe buds look brilliant,the very beginnings of what looks like a fab vintagexxxxxxfingers crossed
