Chardonnay Inflorescence

Sadly, yesterday, Mother Nature had the upper hand over the weather forecasters. Even though it appeared that there might be a short break in the "occasional rain", it was still raining. A few hardy souls, Mary, Barry, Bob, Betsy, Rich, Laurie and Bob V. showed up before planting time. However, when planting time came around at 11 a.m. it was still raining with occasional downpours. In addition, the holes that we dug so carefully with the dingo were collapsed and some of them were full of water. So, planting was postponed until today. It did clear up in the afternoon, around 3 p.m. so my husband and I went to assess the situation we would be facing and found that there will be work to do to clear the holes before we can plant. As we assessed the holes, I checked out the vines. The Chardonnay are way ahead of the others, with inflorescence beginning to show.
