Hey Everyone.
I know LOADS of faithful readers are enjoying this blogulation. Anyway. I have some experience to share. If you find yourself in a situation where you are trying to grow grape vines from cuttings. And if that situation involves a slow pain-staking process (Meaning: the vines don't get enough of what is often called 'heat days'). And, if in that situation, one realizes that either the canine or the wind knocks off the top shoot of said vine(s)................Fear not! However, expect that it will set the vine back in what would have been its potential growth by 4 to 5 weeks.
The vines will grow, though. Don't be disheartened.
Also, another bud break today on a cutting from my parents' Cabernet Sauvignon vine that I pruned in late Feb 2010. Also, lost a few starts from a Syrah and a Cabernet Sauv cutting. No matter, these are all good lessons.
Transitioning here folks, in many ways. Played my last show tonight with one of my bands. That is out of the way. Celebrated with a glass of 2-week old Merlot from that Wal-Mart brand bottle costing only $2.99. I was outside with glass in hand as I mindlessly watered the flowers outside from about 2:05AM until after 3AM. The first bird sound was at 2:58AM, just so you are aware. I believe it was the sound of a Robin, across the street in one of the younger maples. Not certain. Just a best guess.
Out. ..........I told you, I needed to start back sometime.
See you soon with loads of photographs.
