What a great two days this week visiting the Waitaki Valley and Oamaru area, checking out the local horticulture and viticulture. Thanks to the Turners for our visit. We learned lots from other visits to Oregon Nurseries and Headford Propagators. I especially enjoyed seeing the tiny.

On April 6, 2009 by callumshortdiary. We went on a trip with Alex around Cromwell checking out his new property. I learnt that the lay of the land can greatly effect the effect that frost has on crop. Sloping towards the sun is the best, this means the cold air can run off the land and not pool on the vineyard and cause a frost. The music played by Sabastian was pretty impressive though. Weather was fine with a clear sky.
