Good day! We put down lime before our last till last month. We just finished our planting! I'll be posting another thread about our planting.

Hi Grapeman! Thanks for the info! We're going to bring it up with some lime. We're aiming for 6.0. We'll be planting - Leon Millot , Marechal Foch, Muscat and Lucie Kulhmann. We need early ripening varieties as here in nova scotia, unless planted correctly, have a harder time with the later...

Alright, so after some serious "tough love". I came up with this. Do you guys think it will work ? Thanks for the help too ! Really appreciate it!
