So we started the cuttings outside at the beginning of May..see the link to the earlier blog. The cuttings leafed out and were growing well but we had a nasty frost and several of the new buds got damaged.
What surprised me was how the cuttings kept pushing more secondary buds and the vines have lots of leaves popping.
Checking to see if there is root development and the Foch is looking great (photo). I expect yge others are doing well too.
Once those roots get to be about 3-4 inches, the shoots will really start to grow and they will be well on thier way. With any luck we'll get those new vines out into the vineyard by the end of July.
