Jan 2011 Pruning ????




Photos of today!! so foggy rainy and grey somewhere in the photos is the vines out back!!
Pruning has started but after the cold snowy, dry underfoot December the temperatures have really warmed up The bad news is it feels like it hasn't stopped raining. With our clay soil its difficult to even walk in the vines let alone prune them. slipping and sliding all over the place with electric secateurs in your hand is not advisable as you can easily cut yourself, that's why so many wine producers are minus a finger!!!
So we have plenty of other things to do to keep us occupied so we won't be sitting in front of the fire reading a good book as many people think we do all winter?

I'm sure theweather is better than it is today in Brussels. Cold, wet drizzle, gloom.
