You should be fine unless they are planted on plastic mulch or you have an ill-draining site. <BR>

Pull a vine out and see if there is a whitish fungus growing on the roots. If so, <BR>
then, I would expect you may have root rot occurring on account of all the water.<BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’m new in the viticulture field and I planted 200 new plants (Frontenac, Sabrevois, Louise Swenson and ES 6-16-30) in June. Unfortunately with all the rain we're having (30 days of rain in the last 2 months), I don't think they are going very well. After 2 months they are averaging 14 inches in height with some of them around 24 inches. Is this normal considering the weather? Does anyone have the same problem this year? In perfect conditions how tall should they be after 2 months?</SPAN></P>
