Rough Pruning

For the past few weeks I've been 'rough pruning' the vines - I'm taking it slowly doing a row at a time, cutting them in kindling-size chunks and putting the rest in our yard waste bin (reason: if the vines do have some time of infection we don't want it propogated through our compost!)

We're also hand-raking all of the dry leaves that have fallen on the ground.

Here's a before & after shot.

I should be done this week, then I can look into a dormant spray program before the holidays.

That's all for now!

Hello Lisa, Hullo Bruce--
hope re-entry hasn´t been too stressful...further ups n downs in Mendoza, managed a firs installment on MaipĂș stay, having a real hard time writing...motivation flags, blahblah, boohoo...
nice meeting you folks...vague plans to be in Cali mid-May to figure how to ship or carry some of my wine from Crushpad & some of what's in storage in Atascadero...
