i grow grapes as a hobby and am getting better at it. you actually save your trimmins and put them in water and they will sprout ruts. it's magic!

actually i would just start with a new table grape plant and read up a bit. i started w/o much reading or info and kinda floundered in that i did not let them get tall enough before training them out. now they droop down and touch my lawn and the dirt below them and i have a heck of a time keeping the dry mold off them. i am making a better effort this year to keep them up off the ground. last years crop was a wash-out, although the year before that i got like 50 lbs of purple table grapes from them. they were/are very good.

i have taken a few snips from my pops vines and have a couple yellow table grape plants starting. i am following better instruction on getting these shaped right to avoid the ground contact. the purple ones are actually fronting my house on a wrought iron fence. not to sound too gay (not that there is anything wrong) the grapes kinda got me into planting fruit trees around my yard, i have gone with a blood orange citrus, a nectarine, a lemon, a plum, and then of course there is the hemp i farm to make my homemade rope.....
