    How long?

    A week ago tomorrow I received 6 grape vines from double A and planted them the same day. Today, I can see the buds starting to swell but nothing green yet. Just keep them watered and they should be ok. Besides, I think double A has guarantee on the plants they sell. I bought 3 Marquette...
