vines

Earlier this week my Marquette grape vines arrived on our doorstep. I'm currently soaking their roots and will be planting them tonight. That's exciting! What's not exciting is that I won't really have a decent crop of grapes for another few years.

Wine making is a great way to teach patience.

I would suggest waiting to plant until May 15th to avoid a frost which could kill your grapes… no?

Well I won’t have grapes for a year at least. Also these vines are hardy down to -36 F during the winter so I’m not too worried about an overnight frost affecting them too much.

I may put some hay around the base. What really needs to grow and establish right now are the roots.
