Stringing Wire and Tying up Grapes


Started anchoring the trellis end-posts so that we can run at least the bottom wire for the Vidal Blanc vines.  So far, two of the six rows have wires and this evening, we started pounding in the 3 ft. bamboo stakes - one for each grape - to support and guide the vine up to the wire.  It rained most of the day, which softened up the ground nicely and the little stakes went in rather easy.  We are using zip ties to hold the bamboo stake to the wire, hopefully that is sufficient.  We got about 100 done, not even a quarter yet...
