RE: Little known step in the process of growing grapes and making wine: What we do in the winter
It's amazing how much trimming all those grapes take every year! But it has to be done! Will those cuttings be rooted for sales this spring, or does do the nurseries keep them for awhile? It's good you didn't have the feet of snow yet. It looks like your weather was great for being out there in the vineyard! Happy New Year! Have a great and grape-ful 2017! :D
Hi @haphazard-hstead! The ones we bring in this year will be kept until the next year at least, cuttings from previous years will be sold this spring :) There have been a few days of snow, but I haven't personally gone out in them yet, there's been enough good weather that I could pick and choose. Happy New Year to you as well!
Thanks for that extra bit of information. It's nice to understand the process and appreciate the effort behind the plants or seeds we buy. Stay warm -- you'll get tough weather sometime this winter, I bet!
