i am looking to start a grape vine in my backyard and need some help.
I am looking to purchase a healthy plant a couple of years old to
start. also does anyone have any advise on the best ways to grow
grapes here in austin? ive never grown one before and havent found a
lot of helpful websites.

also does anyone have any advise on the best ways to grow
grapes here in austin? ive never grown one before and havent found a
lot of helpful websites.

There's a good book at the library titled "From Vines to Wines" by Jeff Cox
that's widely held as an excellent reference to backyard grape growing. I own
this book and its got a lot of information about type of vines, types of soils,
location to plant, etc, etc. Suggest you try it.

Right now, you probably won't find many grape vines in nurseries. They seem to
be sold out of the container grown plants right now and the bare root plant are
only available in January.

It would be a bad time to plant them. I grow a fence line of grapes and it
has taken about 8 years to get them very productive. I am growing about 5
varieties.

I would NOT plant them now, wait till October thru February, well drained
spot. They do not need much watering at all once established.
