I'll Make a Vine Outta You

Hello dear friends!

I hope you had a lovely weekend. Santa Clara was a blast, as always. I got to catch up with quite a few friends on Friday, which was soooo good. However, you remember how I was looking forward to getting my shopping on? Well the store that I was so excited for was a bit of a let down. Don't you hate it when that happens? I literally saved up money so I could go on a spending spree, but noooo. Eh, oh well. I'll live.

In other news, my vines are growing like little beanstalks! So that means...training time! Oh goodness. We got quite a bit of rain last night, but my little vines held fast and luckily, no one broke! So now we can move on to phase two, which is where we start training them as a bilateral cordon. That pretty much means they are gonna have two arms.

What my little guys will eventually look like. Source here.

However, I being the wimp that I am, will wait until tomorrow to start the process since I do want to wait for most of the moisture to dry before I make my cuts. That, and also cause it is cold outside. It's going to be a lot of work but I am excited! 

Well, I'm off to start my study guide for my winemaking class. My midterm is next week and there is SO much stuff to review. However, I'll be back later to share an exciting event happening this weekend! (: 

Oh, and just for fun, here is what I think of when I'm training my vines. Don't judge :P
