Cleaning up for Spring

[Randy]

I doubt you hurt it any, Gloria. I think it a little early yet to prune grapes here. My friend Salvadore likes to wait until he is sure we won't have any more hard frosts. That's what he does though. He is usually responsible for several of the large vineyards.

I pruned a couple of sucker branches out of the apple tree last weekend. I cut back everything in the garden that the freeze got. I have raked up all the leaves and today I noticed the tulips are popping through out front. I know we have some threat of freeze through Feb. so I'm not getting ready to plant anything too soon.

We wait until the buds break before pruning grapes.
We have wild ones growing along the fence line and need to be pruned back in order to control them.
They do not bleed once the buds break!
Birch and poplars will bleed and are best pruned in either the late fall, or after the buds break!
