Instead of turning cropland into a ball field, we're turning a ball field into cropland . . . a vineyard, to be specific.
Last fall, the fences came down. Mid-March the ground was ripped both ways with a subsoiler, leaving huge clumps of sod which needed to be broken up with a disk and then plowed under. In April, there was more disking and harrowing in preparation for planting.
Then the vines arrived from California. 3150 of them.
This is one bunch of the bare roots, grafted plants.
And then planting began.
