a) prepare to defend the grapes against birds and racoons this
september. i suggest both an electric fence around the fence and lots
of bird netting draped over
b) google "pruning grapes". It is important to prune in late fall and
not in early spring, as these vines bleed profusely in spring. Other
than that, grapes gets pruned far more than, say, apple trees.
Basically, you leave the skeleton up
c) some manure this fall is a good idea. The plant has grown and
produced a lot
