Well I finally got my new vineyard started last weekend. I had worked the ground earlier and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new additions from Double A Vineyards. I had received 20 vines from Millers last month. I set them in some 2 gallon containers in the greenhouse. Will tell more about sources and varieties later. I rented a post hole digger with 16" auger because I had almost 200 holes to do-between posts and vines. Started at about 9:30 AM and finished in about 3 hours. What a time and labor saver!
Anyway here are some pictures of progress so far.
Just kidding about that one! Hope mine turns out like this someday.
The beginning.....
Now some vines... first a LaCross before trimming.
Trimmed...
Planted(same vine all pictures)
More assorted pictures..
A Frontenac started inmy greenhouse-from Millers.
Throw in a few apple blossoms- just starting in picture, but now almost full bloom.
I'll post more pictures later. Last night I set the end anchors and hope to run the wires this weekend if the weather breaks for a while(raining now).
I set 40 Frontenac, 20 St.Pepin, 25 LaCross from Double A and 20 assorted vines from Millers- some seedless- all pretty hardy.
