I grow two vines here (NW Brittany - cf W of England climate) outdoors,
against a wall, and they are tremendous: Chasselas for white grapes, Aladin
for black. Everyone round here uses Chasselas.
Aladin is resistant to several diseases, especially mildew (the French call
it mildiou - is it blight?), otherwise you have to treat them periodically.
I am told that greenhouse vines are even more subject to this problem than
those where the air circulates better.
If you plant after July you will miss the growth spurt, I think.

Hi,

I want to grow a grapevine in my new greenhouse. I would like to grow red
grapes. I have a few questions I hope someone can answer:

What's the best time of year to sow?
Should I buy seed or plants?
Can anyone suggest a good supplier?

Thanks!
