Be SURE to have the correct PH.

We have never done well with grapes, even though
the native ones do great near the creeks. Figs
do well though. Wish I had a source for good ,
cheap fig plants. I'm too lazy to go dig the fig roots up -
I need them started in a bucket:-)

Hi,

I got hold of some small grape plants of the Fire, Ruby and Thompson
varieties. I have planted them along the arbor/fence around our pool, so
they will have good support and a lot to climb on. I have never done
grapes before though, so what will it take to succeed with them here in
Austin?

I'd recommend drip irrigation for starters. And, hopefully you have
decent soil depth at the location where you planted these grapes. Grapes
develop deep roots and don't like rock layers or hardpans.
