The next update a week later on Saturday, May 22, I posted Shoot and Inflorescence Development--Part 2, with photos taken on May 21, showed that the vines were between stages 9-15, with the Barbera leading the way.
To keep up with the consistency, yesterday, May 28, I took photos of the vines and this is what they look like now:
Variety | Photo |
Auxerrois | |
Chenin Blanc | |
Chardonnay | |
Cabernet Sauvignon | |
Cabernet Franc | |
Barbera |
Last night, we had the first big rainfall since May 10th. The rain is much welcomed and should help with the shoot elongation stage that the vines are in now. But, that also means that we need to get moving on the shoot thinning!
