7 to 9 leaves open, due to strong growth through May 19, resulting from dry weather with daytime highs ranging 66 to 87F. Growth has slowed since May 20 due to rain and temps in the mid-50s to low-60s. The vineyard is in good shape; with nice, uniform shoot development. We've been able to get the first mowing and cultivating done, and the shoots have been tucked between the first set of wires. The current forecast shows the last week of May warming up into the mid-70s and drying out.
