[Growwine] Flowering in Peterborough and OVA

[Ryan]

Larry,

I'm at about the stage for flowering here in 416, although everything (two
riparia, 1 de chaunac, 1 geisenheim 318, 1 foch, and 1 cab franc) budded out
really early for me (and almost got destroyed in frost).

Flowers not mature and out yet, just the little cap, no anthers, etc. but
probably will be in the next week.
