Baby vines

The replanted grape vine parcel out back is beginning to show green! Those baby vines are shedding their waxy protective coating and sending out fresh, green leaves. I suspect that a lot of their energy will be devoted to producing deep roots. Fruit will take a couple of years, at least.

Watch out for those weeds!

Today is Pentecost Monday, also known as Whit Monday. It's a holiday here in France, the last of the "spring" holidays and this year's series of long weekends. I think people need a break. After all, the summer holidays are just around the corner!

  2. I’m glad to know about the wax. It makes for a beautiful backdrop for the new growth. Keep your Whits about you.
