Fast growth. Slow trellis.

We now have a second level of trellis wire. As you can see, we could not wait any longer. The slowest trellis build ever is being prompted by vine rapid growth.

The petit verdot is immediately ready to be secured at the second level with c-clips. I continue to thin out the shoots, trying to maintain 4 to 5 shoots per foot.
