    Good afternoon,
    We have a vine that seems to be doing ok in this extremely warm weather. Question is some of the leaves look a bit tired even though the vine is getting plenty of water. We’d really like a small crop of grapes. From the pics any advice as to does the plant look ok?
    Best Paul

      What kind of grape vine did you chose? There are so many, so finding an ideal combination for your location can always be a little challenging.
      Regarding water... Once the vine is established water tends to be an non issue, unless you live atop a piece of pure rock.

      Hi to all. Firstly apologies for not thanking you all earlier. Circumstances at home meant I was unable to. But thanks from me. This forum is excellent.
      The grape vine had some of the leaves removed by my wife and it seemed to give it a new start. We then removed the small grapes as they weren’t growing and the vine is now looking very good indeed.
      Again thank you everyone. Paul
