Man! you got it goin on! Is that tender green mustards you have growing in the GH? If you are planning on covering your trees every winter, I would plant them in the ground! Ihave a 3 yr old key lime tree planted at the back of my GH and it does fine..Its full of new growth now! Glad you are doing well with your citrus and welcome to the forum! Stan

Wow you have a lot of room in your greenhouse. If you are able to put those clear panel on top you could remove the sides in the summer and show off that great looking citrus you have in there. Great job on your greenhouse. Tim.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the grapes you are growing will eventually be killed by Pierce's disease. You may get a crop or two but 5 years max. Muscadines are immune however.

We got "black Spanish" two years ago while being told it is resistant to Pierce's. So far, the vine is doing great in our climate. We had no chance to taste grapes though... thanks to birds! MrTexas, if you are interested, I can bring you some cuttings in a week or so.  |

Millet, Thank you very much fit the link! I will certainly try the net (a big one) this year.
Birds are real pain... Last year, we managed to guard our first 12 peaches by covering the tree by a net. The tree was small... grape vines are a different story though... They are planted on two sides of an arbor. Yeah, the arbor looks good but it is almost impossible to cover with bird netting available from ace... As a result, the grapes were gone while still being green.  will try covering the entire arbor (maybe even twice!) this time!
Thank you again! |
