I harvested about 75 cuttings from my buddy a couple month ago so I could fill in the holes in my vineyard that didnt survive the transplant last year. Out of 320 plants I had 34 that didnt make it. Some of them had fairly large root structres, I dont know how they didnt survive.
Today I took my cutting out of the plastic bag filled with damp sawdust where they have resided since around February and planted two cuttings per spot hoping one of them will grow.
Several of the cutting have sprouted already, glad I didnt wait any longer.
A few weeks ago i was mowing grass in my rows and found a couple killdeer had set up home in vineyard. It appears they have been busy and are making a family.
They put their nest dead center on top of where one of my 34 grapes didnt make it. I left that spot open and put a few cuttings in pots and when the babies are gone, I will transplant the grapes to where they need to be.
Picture of momma to be on her nest
Today while planting momma to be kept trying to lure me away from her nest. She was 7 feet away in the nest row squaking up a storm
Kind of cool I am about to have a harvest from my vineyard before long, just wish it was grapes, and not baby birds.
