Title: Re: [nafex] Flower clusters on young grape vines

Information now available indicates you can leave a couple of clusters on a young vine (should be trained up, at least, though).  It apparently stimulates the vine to come into full production sooner in the following years.

Lon,
 
I thought you mentioned this topic in previous conversation, but would you recommend pinching any grapes clusters that develop on vines two years in the ground?  I heard different stories regarding strawberries where you should or don't have to pick the flower off the first year in the ground.
 
Thanks,
