<DIV><SPAN
style="COLOR: #ff0000"></SPAN>I planted Frontenac in plastic this spring ad I am in the process of installing trellis due to the vigour of these plants most of which exceed 4 feet and many over 6 feet.
I can't cut the grass between the rows as the tops of the vines have grown well beyond the planting stakes we put in to hold them for the first year.
The wood is already starting to harden off nicely.
Due to the amount of rain I have only irrigated twice this year via drip tape
beneath the plastic and the second irrigation was primarily for feeding as the
vines had enough water. I'll try to post a few pictures this week if I get the
time.</DIV>

If so, <BR>then,
I would expect you may have root rot occurring on account of all the water.<BR><BR><BR>Anthony Carone

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>
