Early Summer - Big Growth

We are about 10-14 days ahead of normal and the grapes are looking great. We spent the last few days clearing out the late canes and secondary buds that are just flowering now.






The grapes are looking good overall and most varieties have had good fruit set. The whites... l'acadie and Evangeline ...flowered later than the reds and just when we had a week of cooler and rainy days. 

That kind of weather is not the best for flowering and the clusters are not as well filled but still they are pretty good overall.

Vines are healthy the new vines planted this spring are doing good and the vines from last year are doing great. 

Good start to the season so far.
