I planted my first 2 grape plants this spring. I am guessing it's called a cane but it was just a woody stem with no leaves and some roots. I read up on how to plant them and just follow the directions. We clay soil so I added some peat moss in the hole and around the roots. And gave the roots ample space in the hole I planted them in.
Things started out great and after a week or 2 they both started buds and grew 2-3 leaves. After a week of having a stem they both turned brown and died............ I kept them watered every other day and kept weeds back from around the stem. They are planted in full sun around the base of my wood arbor. I even started them with a little bit of fertilizer that I researched was good for planting grapes.
I have 2 questions:
Are my grape plants now dead? and do I have to start over?
What do you think went wrong? and what do I have to do to correct this so it doesn't happen again?
My stems are both bare no leaves no buds at the moment...
Thanks for the help!
