Flower buds forming on Chardonnay

 

Rondo


In Ireland, May 1 is known as May Day, and the 1st Monday in May is known as the May Day Bank Holiday. It is also referred to as Bealtaine, the beginning of Celtic Summer. The weather has been amazing, and the vines are growing vigorously. Everything is growing vigorously, and we've even commented that the gorse is more abundantly in bloom than ever before, as are the lilacs, blackthorn and whitethorn. The bluebells are stunning, and the garlic is prolific. It is a remarkable spring. The Rondo hasn't flowered yet, but the cherries are nearly finished. And all the vines in the polytunnel are blooming, while the Rockit apple has baby apples. 

We've had guests in from Germany, Portugal and America, so it's been very busy, but Alex has finally gotten the lobster pots in the water. Time to mow in the vineyard and strim between vines this coming week.
