I went to talk to the man about the plough, who was, in fact, lovely and came straight over to look at the land. The only problem is he cannot plough whilst the ground is like a rock and our new vines have to be in the ground by the 31st July.
Between the ploughing and that date, there also needs to be:
fertilising
rotovating
marking out
marquants put in
holes made
plants delivered
plants in and watered.
and there are going to be 4600 plants....
The french weather forecasters, I suspect, spend a lot of time in a pub and just put up whatever they fancy as we have yet to encounter any kind of forecast that resembles anything even close to what actually happens.
There is a rumor of rain this weekend, but then again there have been rumors before...
Everyone please go out and do you best rain-dances and general wafting of rain this way please....
