Had good luck with cuttings this year

dipped in root hormone,

 rolled up a stick per wrap in news paper, one roll added another stick.

got about 8 sticks to a newspaper..  left some sticking out one end of roll for leaf growth.

folded another newspaper over each end of bundle. Tied together

drenched in water let drip and put it into a plastic bag and sealed the bag.

Set it up on a shelf in the house at a warm room temp.

for two weeks then remove the newspaper cap and

 plastic of the top of starts and let  set for another 2 weeks .

wow had roots and shoots everywhere.

In 2008 got a heaping 5 gallon bucket of grapes off each of my

 Swenson Red's !!!

Early Oct. freeze Pinot Noir did not get ripe.

Agria is a wonderful grape for West Wash. Very happy with this plant.

First to ripen, added 15 more to the vineyard.

Added 7 more Siegerrebbe  too. Early ripe taste like sweet Grape Fruit

2009 wine 62 Gallons

I have white Dutch Clover planted between the rows.

I have  drip Irrigation system that sprays a nice stream

between every other plant.

I had to use the grow tubs to keep the Rabbit's from eating the new leaf growth.

Switched to 3ft. chicken wire on outside parameter, grow tubes were to hard to work with..
