Shoot Thinning High Cordon Grapevines

[@PlanetMojo]

As I type this it is nearly the end of 2020 and there are now three full years of vineyard videos, two harvests, and a "My First Wine" playlist where I make a red wine from the grapes harvested in 2020 (a 1,500 lb harvest!). Check out all of the playlists here: 2018 Playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6qQnKmjg6yZbq8 2019 Playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpaaZZZni8idjrM 2020 Playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noq5d6GEjtCAbNU My First Wine Playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmmZmWqCeLx0e7c Enjoy the videos and remember to subscribe and watch the 2021 season! I'll be pruning the vines soon so make sure to subscribe now!

Good explanation of how to prune and train grapes.

Thanks Jeanne! I hope it helps someone out there! 😊

Every time I watch you and your grapevine, I go to mine and try to retrain and make sense out of what I've got growing. Maybe next year It'll look like a grapevine. :) Thanks for the vids. And, as others have said, your audio is usually spot on even with the wind.

Thanks Samlon. You'll get there 😊 -- I had to change the vines in the front of the house for a few years until I got it figured out. It is definitely a long-term learning curve as any mistakes take a year or more to fix 😉

I think the audio is good. I can see that it is windy but I rarely hear the wind.😉 What kind of bird nest is that? Maybe by now, she knows your a good doer.😊😁

Thanks Cindy, I now have a bunch of different microphone options, and I'm working out when to use what. It's been VERY windy lately though, and I'm always surprised it works at all in 25-30 mph winds!!!

... oops! Forgot to answer this -- I really don't know what kind of bird's nest it is. I was thinking a wood wren, but their eggs are light brown and speckled. Robins and Bluebirds have blue eggs, but bluebirds are cavity nesters and the nest is too small for a robin -- I think. Maybe I'll set up a camera to catch an image of the bird 😊 -- stay tuned.

What is the type of grape Vines Planet Mojo so pleased to see how it finally do this thinning properly and what do you use to tie the vine shoots with when it comes time when they're ready?

[@PlanetMojo]

Hi Lorna. The grapes are Marquette cold weather grapes. They are a cross between the french Pinot Noir and the American Vitis Riparia (River Grape). The grapes are tied to the top wire with rubber string, and to the lower (catch) wire with twist ties that dissolve after 1 year. Hope that helps 😊
