We've been waiting for the flowers to open, but nothing has yet. Today was a gorgeous day, and the weekend is going to be really nice, so I expect we will get flowers sometime in the next two days.
The exciting part is that the Pinot Noir has bunches forming for the first time. Whether they can reach ripeness remains to be seen. But when climate change reaches 2C above the LTA, we'll be ready, or rather, our vines will be.
We have strated pruning but I have to stop Alex from taking too much off. He keeps trying to remove all but one bunch per branch. That's what Andrew was on to him about at the last session but he keeps drifting to this notion that he needs to cut it all off.

Meanwhile in the polytunnel things are humming along. The grapes that were supposed to be Vanessa but are concord are progressing rapidly. The Albarino grapes on the plant by the potting bench are looking very good. The Black Hamburg are still tiny.
