From last Monday until Friday We had warm weather and the bud, which has now become a cane, has grown from just barely showing it's leaves to a cane 61/2 inches long. That's 51/2 inches in 5 days or about an inch a day. You can almost see it growing. The other buds did not do as well but they were not as far along as the tall one in the photo.

This shot shows a small cane on the left and a small cane on the right. If you look closely you can see two positions in between where a cane should be growing. These two positions were hit with frost so will probably not grow a cane and so we loose 4 bunches of grapes. That does not sound like much but if that happened to each of our 2000+ Chardonnay vines it would be quite a loss.It will be interesting to see what next week brings. Cold weather little growth, warm weather significant growth?
