June 2016
Vine growth has turned out to be quite vigorous. In short time, many vines have neared the bottom wire and will continue upward unless tied and trained to wires. We are installing a VSP system which will be set at 30 inches for the cordons and each vine will have two trained trunks, left and right. We've started to plant white clover between rows as a nitrogen producing and weed reducing cover crop.
Currently, the vines are being sprayed with sulfur applications to control mildew. An insecticide had to be used to deal with Japanese beetles that were starting to eat away the foliage.
