Spent two days going through the vineyard, tying the new shoots up on the stakes & wires, and pruning off the suckers that always come up from below ground.
This year I have a tractor-mounted mower to mow the aisles, so weed control has been a whole lot easier. Also, the past two years we've concentracted on getting all the broadleaf weeds out of the vineyard before they flower, and I think it's really paid off. Relatively few broadleafs this year, just the good grasses which I only have to mow once or twice before they brown out for the summer.
The only real weeding challenge left is right around the plants where you can't spray roundup. Some growers spray pre-emergent before the growing season, but I'm a little leery of that stuff. So, it's about two full doys of bending over and pulling weeds, until the back says no more.
