If anyone´s unsure about pruning your grapes, my favourite and 2 idiot proof easy to understand videos from Dirt Farmer Jay that I always run to after having viewed tons of other videos ;)

Thanks for the videos. Now I see the error(s) in my ways.

Yeah we missed you Dante!
I'm going to check out the videos, but IDK if I can keep the Swensons grape I have in the greenhouse. Vine weevil has taken up residence and last year ate and destroyed the flowers as well as some leaves, I got nothing. :(

I have no idea. We have many varieties, both local and global, but this one slipped in a group of white grape plants we bought.

Here is the vineyard in springtime. It's located on top of a hill.

Image

We have Black Muscat, Lisičina, Smederevka, Afus Ali, and some other I don't know the names of.

This is an annex with Cabernet Sauvignon, for improving the color of the vine.

Image

This is from our vines at our house, Afus Ali and Lisičina.

But my dad is getting old, and vineyard demands a slave. I have no time, so he decided to plant the main part of the vineyard with damson plum, which require much less work, and brandy made from them is easy to sell. When they start giving fruit in a couple of years we hill pull out the grape vines.

Can anyone here vouch for the hardiness of a Swensons grape? I know Gary has grown them in MA. I just read that they are hardy to zone 4 and -20 C or F. We are not likely to go below -10 C at worst now and days are near or above freezing. I'm just wondering if the potted grape (which is still dormant but some buds looking alive) would survive a trip outdoors.
