Exiting future for finnish vine growing

I found out that some finnish vine growing pioneer´s has established a society. They will have a course on March and I´ll be there on the first row. I´m very eager to see other people that have the same interest and learn more about the different techniques to grow cut and care vines.

This is of course only a part of the entirety. My goal is still to make my own wine. Since my wine school studies have delayed, I have to be bookwise on that matter. Even wine is the most fascinating area in literature I know, I´m still more by doing you learn person.

As the winter has been so cold and snowy, I can probably start my vine gardening at the end of april. (Why can´t I live in some warmer country?) Two months is too much for me, so I started my season with my son yesterday. We planted squash, water melon and tomato seeds in small growing box. They need 8 to 10 weeks inside care before planting so I maybe days are warm at that time. My son´s giant pumpkin gardening was very succesful last year and we had three beautiful Halloween pumpkins on his 5 year birthday.

I think I have to nurse my gardening need more so I´ll buy Oz and James Big Wine Adventure-dvd. (I watched Sideways already).
