Start of the vegetation cycle

The vines are beginning to 'trickle' - they have started to exude moisture,
heralding the outset of the approaching budbreak.

Binding the canes

We are finished with the pruning, and the old wood has all been removed from
the wire trellising.

Now we are taking the only remaining part of the vine, the so-called arc
vine or cane, and binding it to the wire.

In order to do this, the cane is taken from the vertical position with
careful and measured pressure and bent downward onto
the lowest wire, the arc-wire, and secured with a clamp.
