Awakening of the Vines in February | Vineyard Update

  • Mar 14, 2018
  • 1 min read

Things...

are coming on early this year for North Georgia Vineyards. As of march 10, our Noiret and Seyval Blanc have budded on the long pruning shoots. With eminent frost and cold temperatures lingering, long pruning is beneficial on earlier varieties so far.

long pruning is a technique that can delay the push of the lowest buds in order to provide a little extra time to get into warmer weather. the vines pictured on vertical shoot positioning trellis have employed the technique. the youngest vines, Albarino, is beginning to bud swell. 3rd year vines can be challenging on early budding years due to the fact that most vines are not old enough to really utilize techniques such as long pruning.

We decided this year to final prune the Norton in hopes that it will not reach bud swell until we into warmer weather. some of the block shows that it is not far from bud swell in areas that receive more water. The recent temprature drop has seemed to slow the awakening down on all the blocks of vines. As always with farming, theres never a dull moment in the vineyard. Let's hope for no more frost!

Beautifully written — love the imagery of vines awakening and the connection to seasonal change. It reminds me that in my own work as a building surveyor, timing and careful observation are just as important: whether I’m assessing a property’s condition or understanding how materials react over time, paying close attention to subtle changes makes all the difference. Wonderful piece!

Trước đó, tôi thấy nhiều người đề cập đến KP88 trong một cuộc thảo luận khá dài nên quyết định truy cập để tìm hiểu. Dù chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn, tôi nhận thấy bố cục được trình bày rõ ràng và logic. Sau khi tham khảo sơ bộ, tôi quay lại cuộc trao đổi để tiếp tục theo dõi các quan điểm khác.

This article gave a clear perspective on what a logistic application development company should deliver. I’ve noticed that customization matters a lot because every supply chain has different bottlenecks. Your mention of automation and reporting tools reminded me how much time companies waste without them. It’s useful to see these features explained in a way that non-technical readers can understand.

When people search for the ncfe meaning, they are often trying to understand how recognised qualifications support career development. These awards are valued for their practical focus and accessibility across different industries. The College of Contract Management is sometimes referenced in discussions about accredited learning, as it offers courses designed to align with recognised standards and real-world professional needs.

Hôm trước mình thấy mọi người nhắc đến TR88 trong một cuộc trao đổi dài và cũng bị cuốn hút, nên quyết định mở trang đó ra xem thử. Mình chỉ lướt qua một lúc, không sâu vào lắm, nhưng cảm nhận được bố cục của nó khá hợp lý và dễ đọc. Sau khi xem qua, mình lại quay về để theo dõi thêm các ý kiến khác.
