Champion Pruner

Congratulations to our very own Jose Arellano, who represented the Sonoma Valley in the 2008 Sonoma County Pruning Championship February 29th. Jose came in first in the Sonoma Valley Regional Pruning Contest, and while he didn't take first in the Sonoma County Championship, just making it to the finals is a great accomplishment. This years championship, covered in The New York Times , was the biggest in the event's history so there was plenty of competition! As one spectator who was quoted in the Times said, “I went out there for an hour, and I came back and my arms were sore, my back was sore, my shoulder blades were sore. And they do it eight hours a day.”

Spring is Coming

Although we're not out of the rainy season woods yet, we have experienced some wonderful warm weather in February and March and things have begun to pop around here. We're going to see some cooler weather and some more rain, and we'll just have to see what happens with bud break, but for now it's hard not to enjoy the weather-and the blossoms.
