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.
