Smokey Valley Vineyard

Planted in spring of 2006

I had bad luck with my dormant grape cutting's

out of 150 I only had 25 root and grow

I will follow http://lonrombough.livejournal.com/

http://www.bunchgrapes.com/cuttings.html  Instructions next year.

I have white Dutch Clover planted between the rows.

I have  drip Irrigation system that sprays a nice stream

between every other plant.

I had to use the grow tubs to keep the Rabbit's from eating the new leaf growth.
