Got Buds!

We have several new varieties that we planted last year so I wanted to take a few photos of our emerging buds, a miracle in itself. Here are some photos of what our buds look like in late April.

Variety	Buds	Advanced Buds
Cabernet Franc Clone 327
Cabernet Franc Clone 214
Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 412
Chardonnay Clone 96
Chardonnay Clone 76
Chenin Blanc Clone 982
Auxerrois Clone FPS-1

It is interesting to me to compare the above table of our buds with the blog I wrote on May 8, 2015 called Waiting For Budbreak. It appears that this year's budbreak is about 1 week earlier than in 2015.
