I like to drink wine; I think that\u2019s been abundantly obvious. I am not a farmer; I think this too is abundantly obvious. That being said, I planted a grapevine. It was one that we\u2019ve had for over 3.5 years, probably over 4 years, and we got it from Tablas Creek Vineyards<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

We actually bought four vines from them, each one a different variety and we proved that we suck at growing grapevines\u2026three of them lost their lives and we are left with one and it\u2019s a Marssanne vine. This vine is a real trooper; it survived a year and a half of living in downtown Paso Robles where the local deer would feast on its leaves anytime they grew so it basically remained a stick in a pot for that period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we\u2019ve been in the new house for over ten months it\u2019s really doing well\u2026that\u2019s subjective\u2026it\u2019s doing well in our opinion. We wanted to plant it in the Earth and now that we own a home it made sense. So I got my mattocks out and started ripping into the ground. I added some potting soil and proceeded to free the vine from its pot prison of many years. After loosening the clump of dirt, as well as the roots, I set it in the ground, filled in the hole, and watered it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have no idea if it was done correctly and to be truthful I must not have cared all that much or I would have looked up how to do it. Our goal is not to have a vineyard, nor is it to have fruit that we can do anything with. We plan on planting a few more but the way our house sits and the fact that we\u2019re surrounded by oak trees does not allow for enough sun light\u2026in my opinion\u2026although my opinion may be wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grapevines have just become a symbol of sorts to us. We love the way they look through each season, there is something very artistic and aesthetic about them. They are obviously a huge part of our lives once they produce fruit and become the magical juice that we all love so much. Our little Marssanne vine is not producing fruit but I blame the deer attacks on that. I\u2019m thinking it will produce some fruit next year which will be fun to see\u2026even though it won\u2019t be used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe we should have a vineyard\u2026we could call it Hoot n Annie. Bad idea? Okay, never mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, now that I told you the story of our one remaining grapevine I will get to the point of this. I became curious about the \u201chow-to\u201d aspect of planting vines. Since I don\u2019t know I can\u2019t help you but I did do some research to see how far off I was and here are some interesting links I found in case you need to know \u201chow-to plant grapevines at home\u201d. Even if you don\u2019t want to make wine they are really beautiful plants that can add a ton of texture and greenery to your yard as they grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/span><\/p>\n
