Disaster, Disaster, Disaster



We have been frosted. ~80% of the vines have frost damage.


Spoke with John the Agronomist and he has reassured me that the plants should be OK and they will produce secondary buds. Heart beating. It looks like the damage is restricted to the growth in the tubes. I guess that the cold air sunk and could not escape. They look like they have been in a freezer over night. if you roll the leaves between your fingers they turn to dust.

To take my mind off the doom I re set the tines on the cultivator to give a more open even pattern.
