Last planting of the season

Today, we awoke to brilliant sunshine and, hopefully, one of the last times we will be changing the clocks. So, we grabbed the remaining Albarino vines, some shovels, gloves, and knee pads, and headed into the vineyard to plant them. The buds were growing and it was time. Alex had pre-dug the holes. He distributed the vines as I got to work.



While I planted the vines, spreading the lovely roots in the holes, then covering them with loose dirt and wrapping them with protector strips, Alex dug in the poles to move the fence again. Next, he'll have to erect the trellises. We're done for today and hopefully, tomorrow will bring some rain to water the vines and quench their thirst.
