My grapes are doing great! I cut back all the clusters to a maximum of 20 per plant, and only if the plants were doing really well. Since this is only the 3rd year, I can only have a partial crop. I have my bird netting on order now so the birds will not get them all again. I have had to spray insecticide twice this summer for tent caterpillars, but it works quite well. I have only had to spray fungicide once so far but I think I will do it again tomorrow.
I put in a new row of cuttings from my pruning last winter, and within 2 weeks, I have green leaves sprouting! So now I have a total of 39 plants. I hope the cuttings do well because they are planted in kind of the worst soil in my yard, but then again, grapes grow in garbage soil often.
