Still, the end result looks good. The rows are pretty straight and all we have to do now is hope for a little rain (not too much, though) and wait to see whether they grow! With any luck, 2013/14 might be a good year for Mad Dog Chardonnay!

A full vineyard again
We've had a very busy weekend! Having taken delivery of 250+ Chardonnay Vines during the week, it was time to dig all the holes, position the plants, tie in the canes and slip over the protective "socks" to keep the rabbits from destroying the lot! One plant might only take three or four minutes, but multiplied by 250 and you can see that it took the whole weekend and understand that our backs, arms, wrists and hands are a little sore this morning!
Still, the end result looks good. The rows are pretty straight and all we have to do now is hope for a little rain (not too much, though) and wait to see whether they grow! With any luck, 2013/14 might be a good year for Mad Dog Chardonnay!
