Hi All,
My tiny vineyard is doing well this season, my 5 year old Merlot is doing exceptionally well… I think. Couple of questions for you veterans. The clusters are all growing, several are what you would expect (like in the you tube videos from Napa) and, then I noticed I have clusters that seemingly grew from “suckers” a mix of big grapes and some that decided not to start growing. Should I have cut those out. Is it too late now? I literally have a cluster at every node on the 2 cordons, plus some suckers that produced.
I also have leaves in the fruiting area that are getting blotchy red on them and some being eaten by spider mites. Do you pluck these out or let everything just grow? Why or why not?
