Walking through the vineyards for this morning, our first glimpse of tiny ‘bud break’. The fresh young shoots of leaves and cane pushing skyward. They are tiny but here they come. It is still raining a lot, which is good… and it is still chilly.
That warm weather we had a few weeks ago teased us into thinking buds would come early. When that happens, fear of a late frost in April is always looming… Keeping our fingers crossed for a fabulous growing season.
