Vines, time to cut back?
 

Being new to growing grapes in the greenhouse and having had a lot on the
vines this year can I ask a couple of questions please--

1.the grapes (black) were very sweet and tasty, but had a tough skin and
quite watery inside- what can I do to change this next season?

2. is this the time yet to start pruning back and also taking cuttings for
next year?

Many thanks for any help

A little early. Leave it another month, at least. Best time for taking
cuttings is December-January.
