It's a good time for me to refresh myself regarding grape vine phenology.
- One of the very best papers, available online is Ed Hellman's Grapevine Structure and Function
- A chart that I often refer to is this: Modified Eichhorn-Lorenz Chart
This year we hope to implement another idea which should save us a lot of time during the growing season. We almost never have time to bring the netting into the lowest position on the linepost to prevent the summer tendrils from twining into the net. This spring however, we hope to bring all of the nets to the lowest possible position on the linepost to avoid the tendril twining situation. We are testing out a few ideas that we have and when we implement it, I will blog about it. Until then, it's more pruning for us!
