Budbreak, the first significant phenological stage of the new season, occurred about March 31st at Shone Farm. "Phenology" is the study of relationships between climate & the biological phenomena (like budbreak, bloom, ripening, veraison, etc.) that take place throughout the growing year. It's an exciting time here in wine country! These pics were taken in Block 10 (Chardonnay vines) where I am working on my semester lab report, documenting all the changes taking place and the vineyard practices and activities that have started.
