Another growing season has begun, our 5th leaf at Turtle Vines!  We had bud break March 11, 2014.  This is 11 days later than 2013.  Why?  Our vines are older and we received a lot of rain 2 weeks ago, both contribute to a later start time.  So…if the weather is the same as 2013, we will harvest the Pommard clone on September 22 and the 667 clone on September 31.
