Since this is my first year growing grapes (and other fruits for that matter) and my dad seems to never had luck wintering over a grape vine I was wondering if I could get some tips on how to prepare and winter over my grapes during their first year (and subsequent years for that matter).

 

I am in Central Indiana Zone 5b, unpredictable precipitation levels during the last 10 winters or so and have several other issues to worry about on a rural property.

 

Those are:

 

Deer nothing out of the ordinary

Rabbits about a million and they really like little trees even more than garden vegetables

Mice/Voles

A fair lack of protection from the wind for the site I placed my grapes on

Probably plenty of things I haven t seen&

 

I only have three vines, concord, marquis, and reliance(?) all seedless which had varying grow rates this year, but all seemed to grow quite a lot.  All look to be in good health right now.

 

Thanks in advance for any tips and advice you can give.

 

Scott
