Vineyard/Winery update:
Guess what.... we now have 2,400 square feet of shade and the straw bale garden will have little or no weeds, AND the grapes are blooming! Grapes when bloomng look like little grape chia pets! Cute and the subtle scent is a perfume.
 Sun Shades.It has only been about 10 years since I thought I needed more shade. Working in the vineyard gives a great tan, but most of us Minnesotans just want to chill on the deck each summer, overlook the vineyard, sip wine and listen to great music. THINK WINE & Music! The shade is now here and the music is whatever you want it to be, so bring your ipod or cd and we can plug it in for you.  The Straw bale garden.
Who'd a thought that you can grow really great veggies and herbs in a straw bale. We have the garden really cooking...literally. Straw bales as they decompose create heat and allow the veggies and herbs to uptake the vital nutrients to grow very healthy.
Best thing is: no heavyweeding & never bend to harvest.
Hmmm, photos of the sun shades and the strawbale garden will be on the website soon, and most importantly, do not miss the opportunity to come visit and learn something new.
Let's "grow" each day. Great wisdom from my grandpa and dad. Want to learn more about straw gardening? We have great information on straw bale gardening at the winery/vineyard while you get to chill in the shade....drinking wine!
It is going to be a great summer. I will be in the vineyard, but wave at me and I will come in to share the passion of the grape with you!
