…and nearly the end of pruning! I apologise again for not having been on WordPress and liking or commenting on posts. This is a snapshot of my working day at the moment – we will finish the major pruning this Thursday 🙂 🙂 Some interesting facts that went through my head the other day…approx 22,500 vines to prune but a double canopy so equivalent of 45,000 and each vine has four arms (cordons) held down by a total of 90,000 cable ties which takes around 3 months labour as all done by hand!!
Also my entry for MMC week 28 hosted and curated by Leanne Cole.

My goodness, Lisa.
So much repetitious work. Hope the wine is worth the effort.
Thanks for commenting – lots of people do think so! The vineyard is Curly Flat 🙂
Nice shot and view of your “office”. Growing up in grape country, I know just how much hand work there is to keeping a vineyard healthy and productive. Good to hear from your Lisa 🙂
Thanks – it’s a good office! Yes you’d know how hard it is but good at the same time 🙂
Yes, when you love what you do work can be enjoyable.
It is good to hear from you and love the image!
Wishing you a finish really soon. A mammoth task and hopefully satisfying when done.
Thank you Robyn. It’s done – yay!! Yes very satisfying 🙂
Glad you are done! 😀
Great photo Lisa ..sounds like you have been busy 🙂
Thanks Julie. Yes it’s been very busy 🙂
I like the way that the clouds ‘conspire’ to contribute to the magnetic perspective. Great timing. now put away your camera and grow our wine 😉
🙂
This picture should be called “The start of the empty wine bottle”
One my favourite pictures you have taken to date
Thanks Matty 🙂
Great perspective Lisa……and I know that your hard effort definitely shines in the bottle.
Thanks Jude – it’s a good team effort 🙂
You have captured multi dimensions in this photo- well done Lisa!
Welcome to the blog Bridgid thanks for taking time to comment
Great perspective Lisa! What grapes do you grow there?
Thanks Sarah – we grow Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and a little Pinot Gris.
Chardonnay for me! I don’t drink much but that would be the drink of choice with on a meal out 🙂
My ‘gardening’ pales into insignificance! 😀
I like the perspective here.
Thanks Noeline – yes I suppose it is like a BIG garden 🙂
That sounds monotonously repetitive work. It will be so nice to be finished I am sure. I like the symmetry to this.
Thanks Andy – it isn’t as monotonous as you might think, each vine is different and you get to see some amazing wildlife, but yes I am glad we have finished!
Labor intensive work… Remarkable shot!
Intensive – yes! Very satisfying though – thanks for taking time to comment 🙂
