Also: for your irrigation line, you may want to look at mole-tunnelling (Horizontal Directional Drilling). That's what our neighbour used to get a water pipe under our drive. http://www.moleuk.com/
I haven't done any pruning nor will I this year.

Been a struggle to get them up out of the shady area into the sun.
By far Mars is the slowest.

The whole pruning thing is a little confusing to me as it is.
From what I have read the grape buds make the summer before for the next year.
Thomson Seedless is all the way to the top.

As for the drilling I have thought about it but undecided.
