I bought 7 Grape Vines, 2 concorde,5 Niagra and planted them on Wednesday of this past week. I am not really sure but I would guess they are a year old as they already had a shoot or two with leaves already open.
I planted them about 6-8 feet apart along my fence. The soil there is pretty much a clay type, however I filled the hole with what the grape was already in and starter fertilizer that contained peat moss, compost and loam. It was foggy overnight, and they looked fine the next morning. HOwever there was a frost warning for Thursday evening so I covered them with plastic bags.. this seemed to make them very angry on Friday as they were soggy on the ends and the leaves had curled up. I replaced the plastic with cut up old curtains ( cotton) the next night as there was frost as well. This morning Saturday I took them off as it is Sunny and about 10 degrees Cel. They still look very sad... The soil is quite wet, and I decided to take off th "soggy" branches. it releaved the stem was still a health moist green inside.
Is there any hope for my grapevines or did the frost kill them?
