hi h/m hi hubble
ok guys the time is coming soon, when i have to either leave the clone still atached to the vine and see how it copes, or i take a clone from the vine and hope i can root it with the graft still atached,........

either way its decision time. my gut instinct is telling me to try and keep it alive in a slightly warmer climate, if i were to bring it in underlights it would proberbly go into shock, so maybe in the green house and sheltered with bubble rap will keep it going for a few more weeks, if i dont do something soon for sure it will die.

i could leave it atached to the vine and some how rig up a bubble rap shelter for it. but then that might drag attension and not be as steathy, allthough thats not a major issue.

the little graft is still alive and has not drooped, it aint grown that much in size, and looks reasonably ok, however it has now started to develop signs that its not coping with the cold nights. its larger fan leaves are really burning with the cold, and its time to do something about it.

i have decided i will atempt a clone from the vine with the graft still atached, i will do this tommorow and photograph the events.

grape vines root better for me around this time of year, so now is proberbly the best chance for the vine to root. if the vine does not start to root i will know fairly quickly.

if it dont work, then i will perform an autopsy on it and see just how things went. that would make good pics also .......
................peace....... happy............
