Nice Fall!

We had an awesome fall with warm weather and really no snow to speak of until early December. 

We stopped counting frost free days in mid October but were well over 170bat that point. Bit of an anomaly for frost free days beyond that.

Took advantage of the great weather to get some much needed trellising done for the new vines.


Some had grown well beyond 7 feet of growth this year ...pretty awesome for 2nd yr vines and we hedged them at 5 feet. We got end posts and trellis post up this fall as well as 3ft trellis wire to keep them sturdy  through the winter.

These are all hanging curtain trellising and if we get a decent winter we should start to get a small crop off these next year. They are expected send canes up to the 5' fruit wire next year and will train them along that wire.
