It was a beautiful day here in the arctic part of the U.S., so I spent the afternoon cleaning up the yard. Got *most* of the dandelions taken care of. About the only thing here that will kill them is a chemical called 2,4D, however, it's also noxious to grapevines, so dandelions have to come out manually using a nifty tool we call "the popper".
Thought I'd post a few pix of my humble little vineyard that I ramble on about sometimes. I have two blocks of vines. The oldest was planted in '03, although they don't look that old because I had to regrow the trunks a few years back due to a late frost that killed most of the buds. These are Frontenac grapes, developed at the local University. I have 8 in total.
