Monday 23rd May

Another beautiful Autumn day in the bay. Ok, it could be a touch warmer, but you can’t have everything. I was hoping to be out of the shed early enough this morning to get some of those misty river and field sunrise through the trees type pics, but we had a long morning drafting out cows.

Anyway, had to go into Collingwood this afternoon, so took the camera along as usual.

I spent most of today pruning, well, that implies studied thought and concentration, how about, cutting back and hacking, the grapevines. I thought I had 2 vines, but once all the overgrowth had been removed, I found 4 vines there, buried in the growth. All been cut back as hard as I could, with luck, and a good spring, I should be getting a better grape harvest next year.

Cut the Wisteria back as well, and got 50 cuttings planted up from it, depending on the strike rate, I may be getting into production in a few months.
