Budding

Spring is here – the buds are already swelling! After the vines drip or the wounds bleed, the buds swell and then the vine sprouts. The buds of the vine are called eyes; The leaves then develop from them in the first step. As a rule, a bud consists of a main eye and two secondary eyes.
The secondary eyes have less growth and fertility potential, but can develop into shoots if the main eye is damaged or destroyed.

Spring is definitely here and with it this year’s wine life, suddenly things are moving very quickly 😊 and the budding is progressing earlier and faster than usual.
