Polytunnel grapes

 

I was surprised to see inflorescence on the Jenny grape in the polytunnel. Its peduncle appears to be a multiparous cyme. The vine didn't do much last year, but its growth is quite vigorous this year. It's very encouraging. There are several bunches already. Apparently, it's a variety that makes especially good jelly.  

Several of the Alabarino vines we took out of the vineyard and planted in pots in the polytunnel are leafing. They had very small roots, so I hope they thrive in the polytunnel.

The Ross House delicious white eating grape, which Alex propagated, is doing very well in the polytunnel. It has a distinctive leaf shape and I hope we can trace its variety. 

Curiously, the asparagus which we moved into the polytunnel has produced shoots several times already and one is now flowering. Planted outide we got nothing for years. 

Our weather continues with blue sky, sunshine, no wind and no rain. The 11th of April and our rain total is 0.0 mm for the month.  Our first break will be tomorrow afternoon when we will see clouds and may get a few sprinkles, and Sunday when we will get rain and wind most of the day. 

Even without rain, the vines outside have leafed, all except the Pinot Noir.
