Neat and trim

The vineyard is in flux. The grape vines are growing rapidly, the flowers are setting fruit. And the growers are out trimming. There is also a new parcel planted with grapes. Exciting!

Nice and neat. And the sun gets to shine on the growing grapes.

The photo above shows how the vines are pruned in the growing season. Long tendrils are cut back so the vines' energy goes into producing grapes and not leaves. It's very pretty. The photo below shows what the vines look like before the pruning. Wild, eh?

The tendrils reach out in all directions. Impossible to walk between the rows.
