Equinox

As we reach the Equinox the days are now often sunny and warm and everything is springing into life.  The eschscholzia are already flowering and adding a beautiful splash of colour.
In the vineyard the winter work is almost done.  The pruning is finished and at the moment we are going through the vines with the broyeur which chops up all the prunings so that they mulch down into the soil. The organic compost then needs to be spread and ploughed in before the vines start growing in mid-April.
