Looks fab - easier planting now than with frozen ground but looks like they're already in leaf, were they in pots?

We've got 1950 vines going in tomorrow (actually today looking at the time). A French team is doing the planting (in two hours with a fancy machine) but we then have to lay the weed mats, put on the canes, ties and rabbit guards manually. That'll be me for a few days then (plus a few friends).
