Still (mostly) dormant

We just returned from our tour of the southwest, enjoying springtime in Southern California and Arizona.

Here in Northern California, however, the vines still look dormant. Only signs of bud swell on the lower rows. Odd, but not completely unusual given the amount of rain / lack of sunshine and relatively cold temperatures.

Cover crop is doing well - the vetch is now growing all the way down to the base of the vineyard, which should provide a great long-term boost to the soil.
