Anybody want to grow any grapes this year?
I'm going to be triming my mom's vines and will have some real good planters available..white grape, I think they will have seeds unless you graft them out...but no issues, otherwise you'll have some large Thompsons with seeds.
The pruning are good for a few weeks to plant, let me know if you want some.
PS...pretty easy to start a vine...just take the pruning and put it 8-10 inches in the ground, water it and wait.

Grapes are pretty tough, but subject to frost and freeze...if you're just looking for a few vines, it's easy top keep'em under control by covering them up when frost/freeze (assumnig the grape/bulbs are on the vine) sets in.
If soil is too compacted then just put'em in a drum with your favorite compost mix, issue though is like other things you grow, they'll only get as big as the enviropmet they are in.
If you have tight/compacted soil, then dig a large hole...maybe 3 foot n diametere and 2 foot deep, then fill in with a softer loam or compost mix to allow the roots to grow out

But I have a plan, it needs to have a lot of ammendments that naturally occur around here. Thank you for the offer! It will be ready over time.
