grapevine woes

Pruning conservatory grape

Thank you everyone! I had had a good look before I took the plunge and registered.

NTG - read the Nevada University stuff and very informative it was too. I must say I now fully understand both why grapevines could be planted outside the greenhouse and then brought in. Too late for that! But I also understand why it is still in full leaf (we just nip off the dead ones to keep the conservatory looking fantastic).

My advice about pollinating has been to do it with a paintbrush.

I am very fortunate in having a lovely lady gardener (usually four hours a week most of the year) and we intend to tackle the pruning the second week in January, after she has had a couple of weeks off. The pictures in the Nevada paper are really going to help!

I see a paper clip up there; being a complete newcomer to The Vine, I could investigate taking my vine's picture and attaching it.

Once again, thank you everyone and good night.
