First Buds

I'm Block A Row 10 Vine 8.

Planted on 5 Nov 2008- so am now 16 days old.
I'm a Viognier vine - clone VR1A (apparently part of original Viognier brought in to SA) on R110 rootstock. There are only 400 of me in this vineyard.
I've had 205mm of water already and 55 hours of sunshine.
I have quite a few buds but no leaves yet.

I'm Block D Row 4 Vine 20.

Planted on 3 Nov 2008- so am now 19 days old. I'm a Viognier vine - clone VR642C on R110 rootstock. There are 2600 of me in this vineyard.I have also had 205mm of water and 55 hours of sunshine.I have lots of leaves and am already very strong as you can see. The black pipe is also my drip feeder. As you can see I have rather rocky mulch (like all of the vines in this yard). They will keep me warm and also keep the weeds at bay.
