Hedging




Last weekend we hedged the grape vines . What that consist of is opening up the canopy so that the grapes ripen. We had talked to other vineyard owners who said that they used a gas hedging tool to establish this. The thought of that made us kind of nervous. I am sure with more experience and of course trial and error, we will get better at that. So we just used our pruners and cut off the long hanging down vines and opened the canopy so the cluster could soak up the sun.
