Personally, I, the author of the channel, did not have a good relationship with grapes. Thank you, I found a kind subscriber under the nickname Kartos Ogurcov. He is ready to share his experience. And you can ask him questions in the comments.

His advice to someone will seem very simple, but everyone will find the seeds of truth in them. He lives in the Baltics, not the south! And his grapes are excellent.

First person tips.

First tip

Do not rush to buy grape seedlings. It is better to take a closer look to see if the neighbors have tasty varieties. If there is, it is necessary now, in early spring, to go and ask for a couple of twigs. You will have zoned grapes.

I harvest twigs in November. How do I store it? It's not the season to write about it. You can cut off the planting material in the spring.

So, the twigs were found. Cut the shafts from them into 3 buds. Make all cuts only with a sharp knife.

I started in early February. There will be roots under the lower bud.

The grapes are buried down to the lower bud. At the bottom, after the kidney, we leave approximately 30-40 millimeters. This part, be sure to scratch three four grooves with a knife. To a depth of cambium. That is, not to wood. We just damage the bark. In these places, roots will appear.

The following shoots will grow from the two upper buds:

Now my future grapes looks like this:

More precisely, these are grapes for friends and neighbors. I already have more than we can eat.

Second tip

I rooted my shanks in this unusual water

The shank must be immersed in this water to the lower bud. When the roots appear, you need to transplant it into any container with moist soil.

Third tip

Insulate the ground! The grapes are thermophilic.

While it is cool, we keep the seedlings on the windowsill. Then we transfer to the greenhouse. Usually we plant plants in open ground after June 23rd.
