Hi Everyone!
I planted a bunch of grape plants last summer. Most of them appear to be doing well. I have rabbit/small animal garden fencing around the grape garden. I am planning on putting in an arbor in the next few (1-3 years). What can I do now for the grape vines to grow on so that when the arbor is installed, I can 'transfer' these multi-year vines to the arbor? I'm wanting to avoid cutting the grape vines back and starting over when the arbor is installed- I want the grape vines to continue at the length/thickness they are when I put in the arbor. My thought is to arrange some fishing lines for the grape vines to grow on until the arbor is installed...at that point, I can tie the fishing lines to wherever I want those vines to grow on the arbor. Is this how to go about eliminating the need to start over when the arbor is installed? I'd love to receive any tips/suggestions experienced growers might have for me. Thanks so much everyone!!!
Best,
