Interesting. I should have realized that, but I get so used to irrigation being a major issue in growing grapes here that I forget that there are plenty of places in the country that actually experience that thing yall call moisture during July and August.
That would have been an automatic Darwin winner. Please say you won't ever do that again. When I read that, what few hairs I had left on my head stood straight up and fell off.
Wow...what a year. Wildfires in our area have consumed over 50,000 acres over the past three days. We freeze on Monday and then burn up through the rest of the week. My vineyard is ok so far, but several others have been completely destroyed. Two towns nearby have been completely consumed...yes...
One of you guys up north forgot to close that dang gate. Another late freeze here last night...down to the mid 20's...after a week of 80s.
Most of the vineyards in north and west Texas are reporting 75-100% losses...me included. This was actually our third later-than-usual freeze in the past 2...
Coaster...Both of those varieties are great in your area. Like Appleman said, looks like you have rooted cuttings. Hopefully you have at least two buds at the top of the cutting.
The best way to plant these in our neighborhood is to dig a hole about a foot deep and eight inches in diameter...
