Re: grape vines

I am in Zone 5- Illinois.

I tend to worry about new plants- (still in shock, roots haven't had
enough time to settle)- when I plant in the spring and fall. Weather is
so unpredicatable around here during those times. Yesterday was a summer
like day here (79 degrees) but last night a bad storm went thru and
todays high is only supposed to be in the 40's.... geesh.


Yes Cathy, they are the American varieties.

Where are you?  I have grape vines which frequently leaf and bud out before
our last freeze (although I'm not sure we will have that problem now) and
survive.  It may depend on the variety but if you normally have warming and
freezing they will have to survive it in later years.  My grapes tend to
begin to bud out at the first warming spell.  I would plant and mulch well.
