Awesome! thanks for the info. I really didn't plan of having fruit this year, they are only 2 years old when I bought them, so I figured it would be another 2 or 3 before I really saw any grapes, I was just afraid that I would loose their season.

Last year I put in 30 Black Manuca grapes bought from Lowes ( a home improvement store like Home Depot), they all leaved out and we had three days of sub-20 degree weather. They all died with the exception of three. I was wondering what I could blame the death rate on, 1. Hard Freeze, 2. Crappy plants, 3. My Ignorance (still a distinct possibility) I was afraid I would be repeating the same story this year.

Grapes have secondary and tertiary buds that will grow out in the event the primaries get zapped. They should be fine.
