Farmer's Vineyard

[AlFulchino]

hahahha...Brianna sold out!



give him a call later this year or early next..Andy just took Brianna cuttings from my vineyard last weekend

Farmer you could try and call Double A Vineyards or go online to rakgrape.com. I ordered 25 Briana a couple weeks ago. It looks like they still have some. You will pay a bit extra for small quantities, but they probably have them.

I did seeBrianna at other nurseries but I think I have enough for this year. Ordering them all from Andy I got a good discount.

Andy treats ya good

 

[grapeman]

You "Farmers" need to stick together!
I only mentioned Double A in case you wanted to get them this year.


Dang it! I just looked out the window and it is snow flurrying! At least it is supposed to be in the 50's the rest of the week.

It been a while, so I thought I better update on the progress of my vineyard.
I received my order of new vines,15 of each Louise Swenson, Prairie Star, La Crosse and St Croix from Northeastern Vine Supply the second week in May. Andy does a great job, the plants looked great with large root mass.
I worked the ground, layed out the rows and got everything planted over the next couple evenings after work.
Here are a few pictures to show the progress.

And allI can see is a row of red "x's"

 

[grapeman]

Sounds like a nice bunch of pictures. If only we could see them. I guess they must be "X" rated.

 

[farmer]

I will have to try again, they bcame up onthis computer. I tryed using Google Picasa for the pictures and it was just to easy.

 

[grapeman]

Some of them are showing up on this computer but not all. The other one earlier had all red x's.


From what I can see they are doing well farmer.

 

[farmer]

This is strange, all the pictures show up on my computer at work.

 

[grapeman]

I'm back at the in-home computer and no pictures. How bizarre is that!?

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

It gets better

, If I right click on the red x , go to properties,copy the address (url) and paste it in another open tab (browser) it takes me to the picture, then I come back here and refresh this page, the picture shows up!

 

[grapeman]

That works here............... for some of them, but a few don't show up after refreshing the browser. I can see from the url, but not the browser! I think you discovered a major bug farmer! Get out the Sevin!
