...and now the greenery is growing!

We've got adequate moisture in the soil, sunshine and warm weather; everything is growing—the vines and the ground cover as well. One of our current tasks involves working biomass into these surfaces. Approximately three weeks before blossoming—or when the ground-cover grows to the point that that the vines would get too little light and air—that's when we get to mulching. Over the course of a few weeks, the ground-cover releases vital nutrients that the vine now has available to it at the time when it needs nourishment the most—at blossoming. Some of the lanes between the vine-rows will be turned-over with the cultivator. This depends upon the soil, as well as upon the grape variety and its current nutritional condition.
