Spring has sprung in the Vineyard and the vines are waking up, that means Bud Break. Bud Break is when the new shoots bud and start to grow. This is when the work starts in the Vineyard.
Spring is also a time that the wildflowers are in bloom. The Vineyard if flush with new life, buds, wildflowers and lots of weeds!
So the job of weed management has begun. This time of year I spend a lot of time mowing. I mow in the vineyard to keep the weeds down in the rows. But I also mow several other areas of the property.
We have many roads on the property that we use for the ranger, tractor, and walking. These all get mowed in spring to control tics and keep the fire danger down in the summer when everything drys out.
Here are a few of the freshly mowed roads.
