Really enjoy your videos! I've been growing veg for years but I've picked up so many tips from you. Everything's just straight to the point! I'm busy collecting egg shells and I'm now big into nematodes! 😁 amazing what you can learn from a Welsh man!
Just watched your video on pruning grape vines. I have a black Hamburg (I think) planted about 15 years ago but do not get any grapes. Not sure where I am going wrong. The plant is extremely vigorous but never any grapes. I prune hard every Spring but probably not exactly correctly. Any advice please.
I had trained my vines (Kiwi and grape) using similar methods and am only now seeing your video. The only difference, is that my vines are outdoors and I substituted washing line instead of wire as not to transmit frost/ cold. I use the Velcro tape for fastening all things that need bringing to order, it is my favourite product - quick, easy and re-usable. I have trained the Kiwi as a fan shape and the grape in a simple Y as it has to work around existing plants. I have bigger ideas than I have space. As both my plants are new, showing good progress thus far, I am open minded as to whether they will survive an Upper Rhondda winter! Fingers crossed at this point. Great video thanks.
Very helpful video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to prune my Santa Teresa grape that I have growing in my greenhouse. We’ve got a lot of summer fog in Central California and this grape is loving greenhouse life 🍇🌱💚❤️🤗
I'm so happy you made this! My grapes are in a slightly different setup-just espaliered against trellis and I was trying to figure out how to train them to the height of 8-10 feet tall with multiple cordons/arms. I also have Glendora, and Jupiter, Einset and reliance. I'm already onto the 2018 update and hopefully you've done one each year so I can see how beautifully yours have filled in.
Well Done! Grapes in UK !!! I am growing a Hanepoort (Sweet Green variety) in a tropical climate - still no fruit yet. My cat loved this video he was purring and kept reaching out with his paw.
I planted 3 grape vines outside (I live in middle of France), but my shetland pony got out of her field in the autumn and decided to munch the tops and then had even more fun pulling them up! She gave my young climbing roses a similar treatment, but luckily I was able to find where she'd scattered them and was able to replant them. God knows where the grapes are though - lol
I've got just moved into my late father's place and he has 6 x 30 year old grape vines growing in the greenhouse. It's been left to it's own devices for the last 15 years so I've cut it right back and will try your method of espaliering. The vines are cuttings from the Hampton Court grapevine - when I was a child our next door neighbour was a gardener at Hampton Court and my dad kept and continued the cuttings he was given.
Just restarting a new grape arbor since our move. I brought a seeded Catawba grape along with me from our old place as well as a hard wood cutting from my old seeded Niagra. I have also purchased a second Niagra and will be looking for a Reliance seedless as well, since it makes lovely raisins.
NIce job! I had 3 Niagara White Seedless grapes growing and tied to my front porch for 38 years, sadly 2 of the 3 died last year. Thanks for the idea of rooting some cuttings.
I'm in the north east of England, I bought a Vitis vinifera, spetchley red grape vine in spring it's only tiny. Its in the greenhouse for now in a pot.
Wait until the last chance of frost is gone and if possible plant outside and bring into your greenhouse. you will get good growth on it for this year same as the ones in the video
My first year of gardening in the city suburbs. I am ignorant when it comes to gardening. Thank you for explaining details. I’m in Minnesota and I think you can understand the short growing season. Please, I understand you have no time to answer questions, but if you do: what are the basic vegetables grown in a green house? Does it prevent insects?
I've put up a greenhouse this winter and growing my first vine ever, the variety is lakemont which is a seedless white. We are about 800ft in rual wales. Looking forward to getting the vine structure right. Thanks for the video
I will be doing an update shortly, to show how the vines are this year. I have already pruned them right back, but the structure is fab now. Keep an eye out for it
Cheers for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Lammywalness Green Grapes Guide (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning how to become a successful grape grower without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
what a great step by step video thats just what is needed tony could you tell me the name of the tool you was using to fix the vine to the wire cheers tony and its a thumps up from me 👍👍
Thanks Don. They are called tape tools, here's a link to the one i bought. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291856467128?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I have a black grape vine growing in an old green house I inherited when I took the plot on. I have no idea what variety it is, the grapes have seeds and are very sweet. its pruned as you have shown in your vid. the wife likes them to give to her parrot. keep this to yourself.........she doesn't know how many I get through when I'm on the plot. lol.
Lucky old you, I have just banished my vines from the greenhouse, what it said on the label was not what grew. Nasty little sour stoney grapes, however the chickens were willing to eat them. The moral is do not buy from a supermarket, go to a trusted outlet.
Hi mate. I found this useful. I have a Black Hamburg that is just 2 years old and ready to train along the greenhouse. I am growing 2 lateral to go the length of the greenhouse, but they are not long enough yet. Would you let it keep growing on from the end buds and cut everything else back......or do you let the other buds have a bit of growth? Cheers......Nigel 👍🏻
Cut them hard back find the main vines that you want as a frame, Cut everything else off now back to about an inch from the framework and let it go again and train as it goes
I will make a video although I have already done it, Im sure I can find an old piece to demonstrate I will try and get it sorted in the next week or so
I've just taken some black hamburg grape vine cuttings and out of nine 7 have fired up, But i have no idea what i'm going to do with them because i have grape vines in both my greenhouses, Also Poundland are selling Velcro rolls 3 for a pound which would be idea for holding up your grape vines Tony...PS nice tip with the joining of the wire...With Regards Mark
hello toe, i have vistus grapevines in my garden they are three year old and i will have my first grapes this year i have noticed little clear eggs on the stems near the buds can you tell me what they may bee. and buy the way brilliant vids you make many years of hard work thanks paul
Paul, they sound to me like grape pearls. Grape pearls are small sap-like, fluid-filled balls that are exuded from surface cells of rapidly growing grape vines. They appear most commonly in the spring and are often confused with mite or insect eggs. Some vines have many grape pearls but the pearls can appear singly or in smaller groups. They are usually found on the underside of leaves but can be on shoots as well. Grape pearls, also called "sap balls" are of no consequence to the vine I will place a pic in the community section for you to take a look, they can be clear through to milky
no allow them to grow to the shape you want and them cut back tot he framework each time Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.
Thank you Simplify Gardening. I would like to know where to sign up for your Facebook group and anywhere else you would recommend. I live in Hawaii, just moved here three years ago from Utah. I secured five niabell cuttings, which is a Concord grape hybrid that has a shot of growing here. My plants are now a year old, only three seem to have survived. One is only about 12” long, with growth coming only from one spot about 7” up. Two are about two feet tall, with lots of leaves. One has two main branches, 12-15” tall. One has one branch about 18” y’all. Another cutting grew extensive roots but nothing at all is on it currently. I’m not seeing any sign of life. The cutting is woody and about 18” tall.
Where have you got the tying up tool, and what did it cost? I do a few standard plants and this would be a good tool for me. It is not that I didn't know it existed, it is more like I haven't seen it here in Norway, at least not since college where I studied horticulturet...... about 30 years ago :-)........
comes from china on ebay so you should be able to get it sent to you. They are called tape tools, here's a link to the one i bought. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291856467128?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I've currently got one plant inside by a large window in the front room so its holding up really well. This is the first year so I've pruned all but one bunch just to see what they do and to my surprise they have started to go pink, they may well ripen but i doubt it! My window sill is my only gardening space due to being a student but ive filled it with as many plants as I can! would love an allotment in the future! happy growing!
Yeah I was thinking about it, waiting times are 3-4 years in Edinburgh but I have no idea where Ill be by then, I'm just finishing up uni and starting out in the brewing and distilling industry so I could end up anywhere. As soon as I'm settled though Ill be getting an allotment. Your channels great by the way, very interesting and informative, keep it up!
Yes the vine is planted outside and then brought into the greenhouse in order to protect the vine and fruit. this way you never need to water as the weather deals with it
@@simplifygardening I think I may have to plant grapes inside because it rains here all the time and we freeze in winter too. I live in southern Alaska. Or plant them in a big planter. Can't really plant in ground because it's hard clay and rocks. What do you think?
Really helpful video on how to prepare the structure for a grape vine. I've just put a greenhouse on the allotment ready for next year to grow a vine. However I have no idea which species to get! I want a hardy, mildew resistant, reliable, good cropping red I can make wine from and eat.... and also less seeds the better for the kids! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Catherine, no grape is ideal for eating and wine, they are both different types the tannins needed for wine would make the grape bitter to eat. Crimson is a great red grape for eating and seedless. and Merlot would be great for wine
Thanks really useful - I think I may stick with wine from my vine. I wasn't sure about Merlot because of the yield and potential for disease. What are these new hybrid Reds like - Regent, Rondo et. al? I quite like the sound of Rondo!
Yes give them something with high potash to help them fruit as they will be setting their liitle grape bunches now. I will do an update for you on mine in the next few days
I usually love, love your videos, and I learn some about the tightening hooks, but you covered what you are doing or the camera was way to far away to see. I hope you do another video, even if it is on a drawing.

This is great , I needed to learn a lot about grapes and vines ,all of your videos are SO helpful , thanks for making them
I'm growing Concord
You are so welcome! Check out todays video all about grapes might be of interest
Turnbuckles! I'm about to start with my grape vines and didn't even consider how to keep the wire tension. Thanks Tony! Excellent demo. :)
Glad to help
Just had delivery of my first grape to grow out side 'Vanessa' so I've gone back to watch your videos they are a great help
awesome . I am sorry for the late reply, YT didnt tell me about your comment. I just found it
best video on youtube, thank you.
Very helpful video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to prune my Santa Teresa grape that I have growing in my greenhouse. We’ve got a lot of summer fog in Central California and this grape is loving greenhouse life 🍇🌱💚❤️🤗
i was very desperate for this update even mentioned it in a few of your videos lol many thanks for this update.
I hope it has helped you to sort your grapes :)
I'm so happy you made this! My grapes are in a slightly different setup-just espaliered against trellis and I was trying to figure out how to train them to the height of 8-10 feet tall with multiple cordons/arms.

Check out the aloe Vera video you see then in fruit there
Well Done! Grapes in UK !!! I am growing a Hanepoort (Sweet Green variety) in a tropical climate - still no fruit yet. My cat loved this video he was purring and kept reaching out with his paw.
Lol. I just released a brand new one on grapes last friday. Be sure to check it out there is s few tips there that might explain your fruit issue
Your videos are so far the best..thx alot
Thanks appreciate it
Great video, added to our Grape vine / Vitis playlist
Thanks for viewing :)
I planted 3 grape vines outside (I live in middle of France), but my shetland pony got out of her field in the autumn and decided to munch the tops and then had even more fun pulling them up! She gave my young climbing roses a similar treatment, but luckily I was able to find where she'd scattered them and was able to replant them. God knows where the grapes are though - lol
Lesson learned there I guess lol. Keep that pony locked up :)
Great video, glad you showed the details.
These two vines produces 120 kilos of grapes last year
fantastic information !! great job!! thanks for sharing and happy gardening !!
Thanks for viewing and commenting. Hope you have a great growing year
Thank you I learned a lot from this video.

Excellent I am sure when they get established you will have a fantastic array there
great stuff tony thanks for that ive just put a order in 👍❤
take quite a long time to come Don but its much cheaper than anywhere else
NIce job! I had 3 Niagara White Seedless grapes growing and tied to my front porch for 38 years, sadly 2 of the 3 died last year. Thanks for the idea of rooting some cuttings.
They should root within 12 weeks if they take I will show the results in a further video
my first year so eager but looking ahead and learning loads from your channel many thanks for your support.
And than you for your support too. Lots more coming keep tuning in :)
I'm in the north east of England, I bought a Vitis vinifera, spetchley red grape vine in spring it's only tiny. Its in the greenhouse for now in a pot.

Hey , when will you be doing a update ? Excellent video , indoors seems the best to grow grape here in the uk
I will film an update tomorrow, but there are a few other episodes to come before it, so maybe a week and half it should be live
Nice info Tony .Once you have the laterals to the desired length is it just a case of pruning them .
Yes just prune them to the length required and then the lateral with thicken up
what a great step by step video thats just what is needed tony could you tell me the name of the tool you was using to fix the vine to the wire cheers tony and its a thumps up from me
👍👍

Great stuff. Dont let the parrot have them all. Its always good to GRAZE when at the plot lol
Lucky old you, I have just banished my vines from the greenhouse, what it said on the label was not what grew. Nasty little sour stoney grapes, however the chickens were willing to eat them. The moral is do not buy from a supermarket, go to a trusted outlet.
Yeah you have to know what your getting, the only way is a specialist
watts the best feed for grapes
Hi mate. I found this useful. I have a Black Hamburg that is just 2 years old and ready to train along the greenhouse.

Would you let it keep growing on from the end buds and cut everything else back......or do you let the other buds have a bit of growth?
Cheers......Nigel 👍🏻
Keep growth going from the last bud mate. That is strong cut back to it
And then all other buds back to 2 as discussed
Any tips for mature grape vines that got out of control? I have Concords and a few others that I've forgotten the names of but Somerset is one.
Cut them hard back find the main vines that you want as a frame, Cut everything else off now back to about an inch from the framework and let it go again and train as it goes
Great Video, thanks for this. Please, can you show us, how to make the hardwood cuttings? Bless you
I will make a video although I have already done it, Im sure I can find an old piece to demonstrate I will try and get it sorted in the next week or so
That tape gun seems more hassle than its worth, have you continued to use it? or reverted back to string/ties?
No i use it all the time. Its very quick to use and I love it
I've just taken some black hamburg grape vine cuttings and out of nine 7 have fired up, But i have no idea what i'm going to do with them because i have grape vines in both my greenhouses, Also Poundland are selling Velcro rolls 3 for a pound which would be idea for holding up your grape vines Tony...PS nice tip with the joining of the wire...With Regards Mark
lol Mark border your plot with step over grapes lol
Great information from Tony , but my black grapes some are shriveled and not ripe dose tony have an answer please .
They are turning into raisens, the reason is lack of water John
Simplify Gardening thank you Tony for that information but I thought as grapes you don’t have to water much but now I know you do !
hello toe, i have vistus grapevines in my garden they are three year old and i will have my first grapes this year i have noticed little clear eggs on the stems near the buds can you tell me what they may bee. and buy the way brilliant vids you make many years of hard work thanks paul

many thanks toe. i have seen the picture and yes thats them ,you have save the vine from the bin ha ha
Its nothing to worry about so just ignore it and it will go away as the plant slows its growth
I’ve left my vine way to long before researching. It’s around 7 years old now and massive. I’m hoping I can still trim it off when it goes to wood, 🤪
Yes wait until you collect fruit and then cut it back to the shape you require
So you dont cut off the main stem at the apical meristem like you do when espaliering apple trees, is that right?
no allow them to grow to the shape you want and them cut back tot he framework each time Sorry for the late reply. A load of comments said they were responded to even though they were not. I am slowly working through them all.

No you can grow outside check out the last video i uploaded on last friday
How high is the lowest wire from the ground and then what is the spacing of the rest of the wires please?
Around 2 ft and then about 18 inches to 2ft between
I'm growing a muscat bleu in sunny Edinburgh!
How is that working for you? Temps there get right down, do they hold up well? enough time to ripen the fruit?
I've currently got one plant inside by a large window in the front room so its holding up really well. This is the first year so I've pruned all but one bunch just to see what they do and to my surprise they have started to go pink, they may well ripen but i doubt it!

Well get your name down on the waiting list can sometimes be long. but allotments are great especially if you have no outside space at home
Yeah I was thinking about it, waiting times are 3-4 years in Edinburgh but I have no idea where Ill be by then, I'm just finishing up uni and starting out in the brewing and distilling industry so I could end up anywhere. As soon as I'm settled though Ill be getting an allotment. Your channels great by the way, very interesting and informative, keep it up!
That makes perfect sense.
HI this is cliff from Swindon is there anyway i could buy some grape vines from u
Hi Cliff I dont have any left atm
Are those grape roots planted outside the green house? Why? I was going to do the opposite.
Yes the vine is planted outside and then brought into the greenhouse in order to protect the vine and fruit. this way you never need to water as the weather deals with it
@@simplifygardening I think I may have to plant grapes inside because it rains here all the time and we freeze in winter too. I live in southern Alaska. Or plant them in a big planter. Can't really plant in ground because it's hard clay and rocks. What do you think?

Rondo is a good all round wine grape and suppose to have no issues with mould and mildew so would be another good choice.
do i feed my vines
Yes give them something with high potash to help them fruit as they will be setting their liitle grape bunches now. I will do an update for you on mine in the next few days
How is your grape vine doing now after 2 years? ☺
I usually love, love your videos, and I learn some about the tightening hooks, but you covered what you are doing or the camera was way to far away to see. I hope you do another video, even if it is on a drawing.
Sorry Terri. When I prune later this year I will try getting a close up
What's the name of the tool? (11:53)
It is called a tape tool. they can be found here www.ukherewegrow.com/shop
Hi
hi mary
your tying tool seems pretty useless
It just wasnt loaded right
HI this is cliff from Swindon is there anyway i could buy some grape vines from u
none left until next year cliff
