Voila! At a little more than two weeks behind budbreak 2017 (which in turn was a bit behind budbreak 2016), Vinoland's Orange muscat vines have now made the commitment to get a start on the 2018 growing season. This is exactly the same bud that I photographed on March 8th. There are a few vines that are a little more advanced, but this vine is displaying a good average of all the vines. Looking good little buddy.
Unfortunately, we have been experiencing severe frosts the past three mornings: neighbouring vineyards have been starting their (frost protection) fans anywhere from about 3.00 a.m. to 5.00 a.m. Having no frost protection in Vinoland, I can only cross my fingers and hope that the vines won't be impacted negatively. You're on your own little buddies, mummy loves you.
