I'm a horrid teacher but I do grow grapes. Planted 3 back when computers cost a
hundred grand. So I have a pruning book, old school,
A concord and 2 wine grapes.

A few excellent videos and many worthless ones. Might take the 'few' to get the info you
need that suits what you eventually want...climbing trellis or controlled tame like I have.
It might take 3-4 years to get fruit but so worth it.

I freeze the young leaves in food saver packages of 10, for pickles and kraut, (supposedly the
tannins help them crisp). Dolmas and a good wrap for fish fillets. I make a nice big vat of vinegar
every fall.
I need to study up on cuttings. Would love to have more Concords.
