Vintage 2020: Still Pruning

On March 12, I wrote about Pruning Time and we are still pruning, but seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. One thing that changed for us is that we usually take our cuttings to the Transfer Station, aka town dump because we don't have a burn permit on our vineyard and on March 26, when we attempted to take the cuttings our town dump was closed!
My husband looked into this and found that we would have to make an appointment to take our trash to the dump 24 hours in advance. This is what life is like in our rural corner of Southeastern Connecticut, during the time of the coronavirus pandemic.
Thankfully, we have a friend who owns a huge property by the lake and he has a burn permit and is allowing us to take our cuttings there. So, from March 26, we have been taking our vineyard cuttings and this is what it looks like now. Our cuttings have a beautiful view of the lake.
Please stay safe during these uncertain times.
