One day, this will be wine

And I'll probably drink some. The grappes are developing nicely and the flowers, such as they are, are opening. It won't be long until the tiny fruit appears and begins to grow into full-sized grapes.

The tiny young grape buds still point upward toward the sun.

At this point we are entering summer (although the solstice is still about a week away). Now the only thing for the growers to do is to trim the vines, which directs the energy into the grapes as opposed to new leaves, spray against mold, and hope there are no hail storms.

Grape flowers opening up.

Once autumn arrives, they'll be out there with their little kits to test the sugar levels in the grapes and determine when the harvest will start. But that's a long way off still.
