Extra Growth Undercover.

The vines in the greenhouse and in the polytunnel have really taken off. You would probably expect them to grow better than their outside planted counterparts but what a noticable difference.

This is the Cabernet Sauvignon vine almost reaching to where the roof begins.

And this is Lakemont, again good first year growth.

Also Muscat Bleu, likewise good strong growth. Now I know how californian growers can get vines into limited bearing in two years - they have the climate.

And what a surprise. I thought the Gagarin Blue cuttings were not going to take but this one wants to live. What a healthy looking cutting budding out.
