Wow, there's been a lot of growth out in the vineyard! They did get a good amount of water, then a 3-day heatwave and lots of sun in between, so it checks out.
Looking down the center of two rows, I see I have my work cut out for me! Time to remove those extra canes, and be sure vines are growing in the trellis system - but I'm trying to hold out until bloom, such that it'll be a bit easeir to take petiole samples for analysis (more on that soon!).
Given the growth, and lack of apparent water stress, I'm cutting rows 3-6 off for now; hand-watered rows 1-2 and am drip irrigating rows 7-9 for about 3 hrs this morning.
