Lupins and vines

seems to be a new combination. I suppose it does the earth good when dug in.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

it is a brilliant way to farm

Very nice shot

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, that is interesting!

[Dianne]

A great image and cool idea to plant legumes between the vines.

A lovely green corridor.

[Wylie]

Are they a legume? I think perhaps they are, in which case it would be real benefit to dig them in. They look great too!

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

[Susan Wakely]

So lovely. Maybe the lupins help attract insects away from the vines.

[Brian]

Great find and capture. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Diana

It looks very pretty, and probably helps with weed control between the vines as well as providing some different pollen for the bees to pollinate the grapes

[Peter Dulis]

Our farmers grow crops and flowers just to furtelize the soil. Great capture

[Heather]

Great lines and colours! This makes a pretty shot! Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's not only beautiful, there are a number of beneficial reasons to do this. I was curious so I typed in a question and found this article. It's not exactly the same as this vineyard, but pretty close. Good shot!

Great shot and pretty flowers!

[Shutterbug]

Lupine is nitrogen fixing, so very good for the soil. And it is so beautiful. I love the palmate leaves also. Terrific capture showing the details of the leaves and blossoms.

Cool.

@olivetreeann Oh wow Ann, you landed on the site of probably the most expensive wines here! We've been there as we were invited to a wine tasting which was amazing. Needless to say, we never bought any. Thanks so much for the article which I should have goodled ;-)
