It is late August the vines are doing very well in their second year and are now 6 feet tall. It has been very dry this summer with a total rainfall of 331.5mm or 13.26 inches. as of August 19/12. Grapes actually appreciate this quite a bit(so do blueberries) it should be a very good harvest this year, perhaps better than 2010, we'll have to see, 2010 was a great year too.
  
I have a number of photos to upload (7)that I've taken in the last 2-3 days  

Pinot Noir clone # 115 on the rootstock SO4 about 6-7 feet tall.
All fruit has been removed to put all the energy into root growth. 

Chardonnay clone # 95 on the left
 Chardonnay clone # 548 on the right
 both rows have the same rootstocks SO4 and 3309.  



More Chardonnay, clone # 95 is on the left
and 548 is on the right.
Rootstock too are the same, 3309 at this end, and SO4 at the far end. 

 The next 2 photos are of the little jig I built for laying out the trellis wire. Quite simple, and it's attached to the pallet on the tractor using screws.

The next photo is a close up of the clips I'm using to attach the vineyard wire to the wooden posts. These clips work very nicely and when you use screws you can adjust them at your pleasure.

The last photo is of the trellis system called Scott Henry it is a vertically divided system an upper canopy and a lower canopy. I changed my mind after I installed the posts I was planning on using a horizontally divided system called Lyre but eventually decided on Scott Henry as it doesn't take up quite as much space. That is why you see post extensions instead of a single12 foot tall post. 

The height of the top wire is about 8 feet tall.

 While I'm at it I will add one more photo here is a pic of the back of the house

That's all for now I will update again sooner or maybe later??
