"Spring Budding and Grafting"

My friend Anile at Whorl of Confusion takes a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a grape vine nursery grafting operation:

"Here we are at the bench grafting machine. One of these women, and they are all women, can put out 1,000 grafts per day. Tom says he likes all women because they have great fine motor control and their hearts have a lot of love, which they impart to the vines. He places high importance on having a calm, serene and joyful production environment, which he believes imparts a good vibrational growth influence to the vines. I like that!"
