Just checking in...

Hubert shredding the grapevine cuttings

Happy almost weekend everyone!

This week has been very slow in regards to the vineyard and orchard. After making the cuts to the vines last week, all I can really do now is wait for them to grow a bit more and start training them in the directions that I want! They are going to look so good. This morning I actually walked the vines a bit and saw that some of them are indeed growing the way they are supposed to (I did my cuts right!) so I am a little relieved, to be honest. Tomorrow I shall go out and start tying some of them to the wire so they know which direction they should go. 

In terms of the orchard, I've been doing a lot of research on pruning/trimming methods of some of the fruit trees we have, and man there is a ton of information! In addition to that I am trying to find some handy information about pesticides/natural pesticides to use on the trees cause I really want to start using sustainable gardening techniques. I will let you know how that search goes for me (: If you have any tips/suggestions, I would gladly appreciate them.

As for everything else, things have been good. I found two roma tomatoes in our garden that were ripe and a little cherry in the orchard that was ready to be picked! I'm a happy camper.

Have a lovely evening!
