Any suggestions on how to actually HARVEST the grapes after one's husband covers the entire grapevine and fence with netting and then securely 'tacks' it to the ground with tent pegs?

I'm not sure I can help you with that one Alice. However, depending on the variety you may be able to enjoy them once they dried as raisins, sultanas or muscatels and dropped to the ground.

You could always buy some from the shop and enjoy them while sitting under your bird (and human) proof netting.

I NEED SOME HELP. I JUST MOVED INTO THIS HOUSE THAT HAS GRAPE VINES IN THE BACKYARD......I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THEM. PLEASE HELP....IT IS GETTING WARMER HERE AND I WANT THEM TO LOOK GOOD...AND TO HAVE GOOD GRAPES..

I need to know where is the best place to buy grapes to make wine.

where can i buy wine grape varieties in western australia to plant in my backyard as im having trouble finding them as i can only find table grape varieties?

Adam, your best bet is to take a trip to one of the wine regions (ie. Margaret River or the Swan Valley) and find someone who sells them in their local community paper. They are usually readily available. Otherwise, once the wineries start pruning in late autumn see if you can score a few stems to propagate.

I am currently looking at growing wine vines I have 3 acres of good soil and great conditions can anyone give me approx yield from this type of acreage

I am new to growing grapes and I am going to start soon. My future plans is to build a pergola and have the vines overhead. My question is...How do you start? Do you place in the ground using a trellis or the thingy vineyards use or once I plant can it be moved to where I would build a pergola? I am so confused on how to start and suggestions would be welcomed....Thanks.

I bought a house in New England with a very mature grape vine that has no arbor. It's currently hanging on a tree and a chain link fence. I have been offered a wooden arbor that is the walk under kind normally used for roses. Should I bother trying to use this or w`it until I have the finances to build a bigger one? Thanks for any advice.

Hi I have a concord grapevine in my garden, last year some "fungus" killed the harvest in its majority.

I'm seeing some of the same sympthoms coming back. Its on the fruit, a brownish small circle that expands on the grape until about half the grape size and then it kills it.

What can I do? Thank you

We moved into a house in Melbourne that has 3 grapevines in the pergola. One of them blooms in late September, but within a month, fall off and hasn't grown to maturity for the last 2 seasons. The other two bloom in late October and we've enjoyed the fruit all through summer. Can you think of an explanation ? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

quite interesting your information here, but the link as to how to prune is not working, it takes me to a site but then i try to search "prune grape vines", but it just does not function.
I planted little seeds in my backyard back in Argentina, and as soon as it was about maby 10 to 15 feet tall i had to come here, it was young, oh so very, and now one of my uncles is taking care of my house and says the vine is growing in splenderous nature, i do miss it but i have no way to care for it, but oh well ill send him some tips ill google-up so that it grows to its full potential =)
and your article has helped me much.

I have some seeds for grapes and i was wondering if you might know the best way to approach growing them.

What is the best moon sign to prune grapevines in the Southeast U.S.

I have a vine that this year has grown beautifully. Last year it put off quite a bit of fruit but this year I'm noticing that all of the grape bunches are going to seed. Is this normal? Perhaps every other year or something? It's all new to me, sorry if it's a dumb question..

exellent article.
Thanks for sharing, I will try your metod.

Hi,

My grape vines are wilting and the grapes don't seem like they are going to mature (as most are starting to fall off ). Just how much water should they get? Since I don't understand language like "nodes", can someone please speak in laymen's terms?

Need help with our grape vine. We planted a vine 5 years ago. Each year the grapes start to form then go to seed. Or they get little flowers and then fall off. This year they got bigger then did the same thing. We never pruned it but will this year. I need to know why grapes don't develop fully on the vine.
We plante another grape vine this year and has some grapes growing on it and so far look fine.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks Carol

Hi can anyone help me please, earlier this year I purchased a vine that had two shoots, I planted it against my garage wall and tied wire for it to grow up. Both shoots ahve now reached the top and it is still growing do I pinch out the tips?

Thanks

hi, i hope someone can help me.i planted 5 concord grape vines this spring and i did not prune,i wasn't sure exactly how to do it,i didn't want to cut the wrong part off and have to start all over.i am not familar with all the parts of a vine,cane,node,buds,spurs.the stuff i was reading seem to be for someone who was familar with pruning,and vine parts.

there is a plan to grow the grape . so i would like to know about the grape clearly.

This is terrific information. We have a very old Concord vine (15 years), and a couple younger. The problem we have with all is: although in the spring they develop a large amount of flowers, only a couple reach some sort of maturity, and almost none becomes edible. The fruits dry out and turn to seeds. Is there any specific remedy to this or give up? Thank you for your help which will be greatly appreciated.

hi i would like to see some illistrations on were to prune these vines that i've planted thanks gil

Hi
My grapes are now starting to form do i need to cut some of the branches to give more feed to the ones nearer the vine as there seems to be a lot of grapes this year & dont know if the vine will be able to feed them all. We have not had grapes before so i pruned them last winter maybe this has helped.
