5-9-09 workday.......







saturday was overcast and chilly but we managed to get to prune all of the '08 vines. lots of dead plants though and also noticed a bunch of "rootstalk red" vines. the rootstalks probably need to be dug up... some discussion was had on transplanting some of the plants that are too close together and using them to replace dead plants or rootstalks. john and i found two rootstalks in the '07 crop, they look different and have absolutely no flower clusters on them.

we do have some extremely healthy plants that are loaded with flower clusters, they are so thick that they will have to be thinned soon.


edward ortega also showed up to work but he left as soon as he heard leon wasn't frying fish...
