Been there done that. Spot on. You could still put on a tunnel for your trellis, just a overhead wire frame. Up and over. That’s easy they grow and you direct.
Cool
Hubby & I are planning on retiring to East Texas within the next 8 months and look forward to raising our own blueberries and other acid loving plants. We look forward to visiting the blueberry festival in Nacogdoches in the coming years.
Very cool!
We had a "U Pick" muscadine operation in the late 90s but got tired of people eating more than they bought.
I currently have 44 muscadine vines of varying types. In 2021 we made 50 gallons of wine. We don't drink but you can only eat so many fresh and only need so much jelly.
Last year the deer decimated our muscadines about a week before the first ones, Alachua, ripened. Crows are also a bug problem for us so we'll be putting bird netting on all the vines prior to ripening.
I have one row of table grapes that will be 3 years old this year. I have yet to get a grape so they may not make it to 4 years old.
We've been very happy with our raspberry and blackberry crops.
I spent about 2 weeks pruning back fruit trees and just finished my plums 2 days ago. We are focusing more on fruit than on vegetables now because we are traveling more and they don't need the constant attention of most vegetables crops.
Oh wow, that is cool. I have thought about setting up a roadside veg stand and adding fruit like muscadines. They are so prolific.
Nothing seems to bother ours because our border collie is always patrolling.
@Country Living Experience: A Homesteading Journey we have Japanese beetles that irritate me by eating a lot of leaves, but I've never noticed a reduction in fruit. Once the vine is 2 years old, it is nearly maintenance-free. Just prune during dormancy, I generally do it starting mid December here in GA, and give it a little fertilizer a couple of times a year. I rarely water my vines once they're established.
Muscadines sell very well in local grocery stores, including Walmart. Maybe you can find some "hone-style" restaurants that can sell some for you? We just invite all our friends out to pick all they want. My great grandparents had muscadines so they're my favorite. The large bronze "scuppernongs " seem to be the sweetest and make excellent wine. We just enjoy the process.
@@jdollar5852 They are certainly the most hands off crop on my entire homestead. Never watered them even in the drought last summer.

How do you fasten your cordons to the wire? Zip ties or strings?
We used garden twist ties. Took them off after the cordons put out their tendrils and attached themselves.
I use a tape gun with red tape. I've been known to use zip ties and forget to remove them.
The previous owners of our property never pruned the muscadine vines. They have been growing 10 years or more basically wild. This will be quite the undertaking to get them to look like yours. Forgive me if this is a silly question but can you take the clippings and place them in water or the ground to form a root system?
It is sure tough to try to tame them after they have grown wild. You can root these in a pot but I have never done it before. Try a glass of water first and then transfer to a pot.
We are new to grapes. We've been told that grape roots travel in the ground the same direction as the vines and don't like to compete with other plants (like grass, etc). We had planned to cover the strips of ground under the wires with cloth and mulch. Is that necessary or a waste of time?
Grape roots grow in all directions. Most roots are in the top 3' of soil but some will reach really deep...about 15 to 20'. There is no need to cover the ground around them. Mulching them for nutrition is fine though.
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks so much for the reply! That's a big relief bc skinning the grass and keeping the mulch where it's supposed to be isn't my idea of a good time in the garden. :) Subscribed to the channel and will binge watch your videos over the next few days. Thanks for what you do.
You indicated that you would build the trellis higher, if you were to build it again…. Assuming that your are 6’ tall… how tall would you build the trellis? I assume you would still want to be able to reach the vines to train…

I would have it at about 6’6”
