While we are waiting for our grape harvest it's an opportunity to catch up on a few jobs. Today #powerharrowing between the newly planted #vines. This will level the ground, knock out weeds and set it up nicely for some natural regeneration. π #vineyardlife #soonbeharvest

It's lunchtime and the #vineyard team have found a nice spot in the shade to have some lunch. Nothing to do with the mens #TourOfBritain going past today. @TourofBritain @MaldonTourism @VisitEssex #notalotofworkgoingon #vineyardlife #bicyclerace

Wowie . . . our very own @LizzTresadern found a #megabunch on the vines this morning. π Not seen it yet but I'm thinking this will be #Muscat. Now this is going to take some ripening! Come on #sunshine! #vineyardlife #bigbunch or #smallhands #crouchvalley #essex

Our 'built in a day'ish' canopy trimme.under the expert driving of @LizzTresadern, still going strong. As the vineyard gets bigger I keep thinking about replacing it but still working, so I'll leave it for a year or two. π #vineyardjobs #girlpower #canopytrim #essex #vineyard

It's gone midnight and just finished spraying the vines. I needed to protect those gorgeous looking inflorescence/baby bunches ahead of the rain. Better bloody rain now . . . π€― #weneedit #raindance #feelingsleepy #cananyoneseejacksons

Wow this is almost as exciting as the #Ashes23. All to play for . . . flowering was about 4 days earlier last year but now daily temperatures & sunshine are greater and flowering is rocketing away. π³π #essex #vineyard #crouchvalley #grapes #flowering #lovingthesunshine

No this isn't plastic debris, these are our biodegradable vine guards from @HyTexUKLtd. Getting the hang of these, now much quicker with one person tearing and placing the guards out in front of us. #vineyardjobs #newplanting #vineguards #essexvineyard #crouchvalley #local

This morning there was a bit of a #ruckus among the vines. A flock of #starling had found something yummy among the vines after some mowing yesterday. π #birdlife #birdsong #bugslife #birdfood #yummygrub #vineyardlife #crouchvalley #riverviews #essex
