Layton’s Chance

Vineyard and Winery

Planting Day!!

After more than a week of cold weather and rain, Friday April 20th awoke bright, sunny, and warm!  It was a good oman for us.  I had a crew of eight scheduled to start at 8:00.  We ended up with two extra.  The work flew by.  We had 2/3 of the work done by lunch, and the entire vineyard planted by 3:00!!  I had planned on it taking two days, so I was overjoyed.  I would like to thank everyone who showed up to help: Jennifer Layton, Laura Layton, Joseph Layton Jr., Joseph Layton Sr., George Short, Barbara Bailey, James Bailey, Ted Cooney, Franny Hearthway, and Carol Robinson.  Thank you all for you hard work!!

Our crew fresh and ready to start at 8:00!

The Patriarch of the family oversees the job.

A slightly larger, and more tired crew at the halfway point.

Taking a well deserved break.

Planting the last grape!!
