Remembrance of Things Past

A few weeks ago, I was digging into some old (2013) photos that I took of the vineyard shortly after we planted it. This is a photo from our newly planted vineyard in June, 2013.

This is what our vineyard looks like now:

For our tall grafted vines, what we have learned since our planting in 2013, is:

• It is essential that our trellis system: lineposts, endposts and trellis wires be in place
• It is necessary to have the irrigation system in place for newly planted vines

Since we will be replanting in a few weeks, we will see how hand planting our tall vines compares to our experiences with Laser Planting our vines.
