This is our first year of managing our vines properly, cutting out excess "twiggage" drastically from previous owners methods, and learning from our previous year's mistakes. Here is a detail from one of our walkways, culling back to create a basic cordon form but from which we now know huge amount of growth will spring. You can just see the buds swelling (we are the first week in February) and also the very tiny moon in the middle at the bottom.
