If a picture paints a thousand words...

My spirit feels spring stirring. It is a hopeful place of promise and joy. I can't wait! Well, I take that back... in light of the work load before me, I've need for every day between now and the warmth and vigor of May. I planted my remaining grapes yesterday. They've been in 2 gallon pots since last year. On the whole, they seem a bit more vigorous than the vines that have been in the ground. It will be interesting to see how they fare against the established vines from here on out. Luckily I'd already dug the holes so it took just a couple of hours, and I was happy to come inside as the north wind had really starting to make a fuss. Today, clear and cool as well.
