after the big rains of july my vine has started growing again. it has grown so much that i had to move up the upper trellis wire support installation. i thought i could slack a bit and do it next year but the monster keeps growing. the vine was so "top heavy" a big gust of wind had knocked over one cordone and was in danger of being damaged. i did loose the biggest cane to the high winds. so i pulled out my trusty dusty hobart mig welder and whipped out the two support poles. notice the u-bends at the top so no eyes will get poked out while pruning or harvesting the crop. i'm going for maximum condone length, 4 feet each way for a total of 8 feet of producing vine. notice the baby grapes too! i'm hoping its a red grape variety, i might make a pint of jam with it!
