If you are going to do it, it should be done immediately if you are starting to break a bit.
I'm still waiting for the snow to melt!

Busy in the vineyard this weekend. Warmed back up and the sap is running again.
Pulling out some undesireables and putting in more viniferas. I'll have 93 vines this year if I remove the Vidal Blanc. 99 if I leave them.A few years ago I had 120 vines, but I've been changing over rows and reducing the size of the vineyard.
Grafting Chardonnay to root stock:
New variety for me. Planting some Zinfandel this year:
Pulled out the Coret Noir and planted Cabernet Sauvignon:
Thinned out the spurs on everything. Chardonnay here:

Spring is well under way and lots of growth in the vineyard.
Have started the spray program a week ago.
Marquette, Chardonnel, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonny
have lots of growth. Chardonnay below
Vidal Blanc, Norton, and Cabernet Sauvignon are just getting
started. Cabernet Sauvignon shown below:
Rootstock is rebudding after being cut off for grafting.
The grafted buds are starting to take:

We aren't even at budbreak here yet. It was snowing outside a few minutes ago.
You are doing great there.

Wow! Spring is definitely arrived in TN!
Great looking vines all the way around.

Here is where we are. Nothing but rain it seems, buds are getting ready, I believe that some of my Leon Millot will pop this week.
As of 4/19 20.3 GDD
last year 113.6
long term average 27.97 these are all for Geneva NY about 15 minutes from here.
even though it seems that it is worse, we are only 3 days behind the average.

When I posted the picture of the Chardonnay the Cabernet Sauvignon was just getting started. Now it is catching up fast. Here is a pic from April 30, and a picof the flowers.
This is the year of the 13 year periodical cicada. Due to emerge in about two weeks.I'm wondering what they will do the the vines.

Those look really nice Mark. It is nice to see actual green vines. Mine are just at bud swell here. They might reach budbreak in about 10 days!
