Awakening of the Vines in February | Vineyard Update

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!

Superb post. I have already said that you are a great author. Thanks for sharing this kind of content. You may discover more about Is Allegiant Air Good and was really impressed with their expanding network and affordable routes. The airline has undergone significant transformations in recent years, including modernizing its fleet primarily with Airbus A320 series aircraft, which are known for their advanced safety features, fuel efficiency, and reliability. Allegiant’s commitment to safety is further demonstrated through rigorous pilot training programs, routine maintenance checks, and investments in technology like real-time flight monitoring systems. While the airline faced scrutiny in earlier years for operational practices, it has since enhanced its safety protocols, transparency, and compliance, earning renewed confidence from regulators…

How to do Ashwini Mudra? To practice Ashwini Mudra, sit in a comfortable meditative posture such as Sukhasana, Vajrasana, or Padmasana with your spine straight and shoulders relaxed. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to settle your mind. Gently contract the anal sphincter muscles—just as you would when trying to hold a bowel movement—and hold the contraction for a few seconds without straining. Then slowly release the muscles and relax completely. This cycle of contraction and relaxation counts as one round. Continue for 10–20 rounds, keeping your breathing natural and your focus on the pelvic region. Practicing Ashwini Mudra regularly helps activate the root chakra, strengthen pelvic muscles, and prepare the mind for meditation.
