Two days ago, Bobby and I came home with 17 grapevines, given to us by the vineyard manager at Tally Winery. This brings our vine family up to 18. It is not certain that all of the plants will live, however positive thoughts and daily watering will be applied. After packing mushroom compost around each plant and giving them a thorough soaking, I had a sobering thought. This could be the beginning of my future vineyard. What a story that will make for a back label: "these grapes began as nothing more than a college student's dream of green." I have placed them in pots until I can purchase half wine barrels for each. Let us keep our fingers crossed. Right now, these new vines appear to be nothing more than sticks in the mud.
