This past weekend I noticed that a few of the vines have actually leafed out. The Foch are leading the pack (as usual - hopefully no late frosts) with the Prairie Stars and Valiants coming in a close second. Despite a minor bout of grape flea beetles, the vines are looking great. Two of the three Marquette vines planted last season are a little past bud break stage right now. The third has not done anything, so I’ll have to keep an eye on it.
