| My new assistant, the feral orange tabby we call Ginger, who is making herself comfortable in the polytunnel. |
Alex has been saving cuttings from the vineyard winter cleanup and trying various ways of rooting them. A batch is outside, another batch came into the polytunnel after being kept in a fridge for a few weeks, and the third group is in the greenhouse. The polytunnel route seems to have been the most successful.
The rootstock appears to be doing the best and the Albarino the worst. Encouraging are the Pinot Noir and the Ross House white eating grape. The latter one is a cutting from a vine that is at least 50 years old and lives in the greenhouse at Ross. We can`t wait to establish it in the polytunnel.
There are also Cox`s Orange apple tree cuttings budding so I am assuming they have sprung roots.
