It's like watching grass grow

Or Watching Scotty Grow? 

March 21, 2020

Plenty of time to sit and watch this one-of-four take off.  Self isolate has its advantages, I guess. I'm not clever enough to create a viral meme, so I will watch others. And watch my vine grow.  Hope the other three catch up.

At this rate, #3 will have grapes by summer. Another week of work-from-home, so may have a chance to update with more photos. Until then, I'll just add one more pic, but this time with a bottle of wine. Adds a little context. Plus, it is a cool label. Oh, and a great wine, too!

And this is where they live.  Well, three of them.  Sometime after this, a late bloomer appeared.  And then there were four.

But for the timeline, this is one month later.

They survived the harsh California winter - just kidding.  All went well.  Had some 'fall color' on the patio.  Spent the winter watching more YouTube videos.  And then, due to a very warm and dry February, Bud Break. Good thing I pruned in January.

 A very noble bud, n'est pas?  Now what? Oh, I don't know.  A couple of years from now they may produce bunches of grapes. But don't expect any Larkin Cab Franc from this patio vineyard anytime soon, if ever.  Besides, the name is already in use in Napa.

You should see them now, one month later...
