    Did my Summer royals give its life to give me grapes?

    It was bought at a nursery and not concerned that it will not thrive, I know it will. Below is a Black Manuuka which went through the same process and is doing well. My question is focused on whether or not my variety died due to the over production of fruit during its second year.

    Did my Summer royals give its life to give me grapes?

    Lol, a little dramatic title but my Summer Royals did an awesome job of not only providing very sweet table grapes, but it probably put out the most grapes of all my varieties. This year I was going to give it a break and let it work on trunk growth since its only 2 seasons old(this would have...

    How to install fruiting wire?

    Wow, this one went a while without a response. I’ve been caught up with my motorcycle hobby but wondering how this project came out. While I know I’m late to respond I would have just turnbuckled both sides. I like my projects neat in appearance also.

    What do you think?

    Looks like I’m gonna need it. The vineyards around here started pruning so I followed their lead. Then all of a sudden we got weather that we just dont get here in El Paso. If you’ve heard the news they talked about Texas getting hit in places we never got it. That includes my town of El Paso...

    Second round at guessing this vine

    I thought maybe Concord, then I read it grew up north because of the chill hours. But when I did more searches I read they do well in zones 7-9, so maybe? I will see if I get good clusters this season and post them.

    Second round at guessing this vine

    Last season I only had a bud break when asking if anyone knew the variety. Now that it’s gone a full cycle, I’ve posted more clues to assist in identifying what it is. Btw, this isnt a riddle, I ready don’t know what it is, I just know what its not. It’s not as the nursery labeled stated, a...

    What do you think?

    The first picture is my Thompson vine, I’m using the basic VSP set up. I’ll be cane pruning to 2 buds right after last frost. I’m soliciting opinions on the second picture. It‘s a Cab-Sav, I’d like to bring the “head” up closer to the lower VSP line as with the Thompson vine. The red line in the...

    Last Frost and Pruning

    I’m growing just for table grapes to enjoy with wine. I have many hobbies and don’t have room to store equipment for all of them, so wine making is out for now. I did set up a two cable VSP like the local vineyards have. I follow all the same set up, pruning times, etc as La Vina, a well known...

    Last Frost and Pruning

    Sounds good, here in El Paso last frost is around 24 March. I’m ready to get back into listening to relaxing music while enjoying the morning/afternoon pruning the vines. Of course I only have 9 vines that sprawl over the entire run of the perimeter rock wall in the back yard so its no real...

    Last Frost and Pruning

    As I drive down the countryside I see some vineyards have started pruning. They may also just be pruning excess. I also see Pecan trees being pruned. I’m in the El Paso, NM border so of course we get warm weather sooner. My question is for your particular area when do you begin to prune?

    Who’s been experiencing 100+ weather?

    Ibglowin, that's what I had a feeling I should be switching to watering everyday for at least an hr on a 2gal per hr drip system. Someone else said they watered twice a week.
