I have a small backyard vineyard in Pierre, SD that I planted several years ago. My vines died back to the soil level the first two years, but finally survived a winter last year. So I pruned them this spring. Since it had been so long since I planted them I had forgotten how I planned to prune them, so I looked it up in a couple books and everything said to prune to the bottom wire (I have a 2 wire trellis). So that's what I did. Whoops. Now I've realized I really wanted to prune to the top wire for a top wire cordon system. I have Marquette, Leon Millot, and Petite Pearl.
Am I totally screwed for this year and have to prune them back to a couple buds now? The buds are just starting to swell right now. What the heck do I do at this point? Obviously I'm pretty new to this.
Thanks
