Conséquences of a late spring.

Compared to last year, the vine has more than 15 days late. Last year at the same time, bud had openend and the first leave was forming. Today, our future branch is still protected from the cold in his cocoon.


But it's completly normal with such weather conditions. If calendar announces the spring for already 3 weeks, winter don't wanna leave the seat and makes resistance. Just one or two beautiful days with warmer températures (an average of 11°C in the all day) for the bud to open.
On our side, no problem, this late bud opening secure us everyday more against the damage from morning frost.
