That picture of grapes is beautiful. Your apples look great too. Do you spray? Looking forward to more pictures. Thank you Ottawagardener !  There is no problem to send you some cuttings at spring if you want. |

 Sorry Ottawagardener, I don't answer your question ! I did not spray this year. I've selected some grapes as "perdin" and "aladin" which have a big resistance in the cryptogamique diseases. www.jardivigne.com/catalog/-c-21_2.htmlI grow others not very resistant this year. "Pinot noir" was safe. I use copper very rarely but I prefer not to.

Your apples look fantastic for not spraying. Once I have the space, I plan on trying a wide variety of orchard plants including grapes with no spray and see which ones do well so I'm always on the lookout for possible resistant plants though I suppose what resistance is useful varies from place to place.
I'm really enjoying this thread.

Thank you Ottawagardener ! This apple (querina) is an INRA obtention resistant in the fleck. Bunkie : I never tried it. It could be interesting. I can save seeds for you. The propagation is easy with cuttings and I can add some in my invoice in february. |

I have a grape vine I started earlier this year, in a bucket, going to bring it in here pretty soon, before it gets real cold. Was doing fine, but my son ripped off the leaves. I dont think he killed it though. The tiny leaves still intact, seem healthy enough, after two weeks or so.

TAKE YOUR TIME! Your orchard has taken many years to give to you such glorious delights. Give it the best you have. We can certainly wait whatever time is needed to receive a portion of the abundance. We will be grateful in our patience as well. I've heard it said that anticipation is most of the fun of acquisition anyhow. ;o)

Second what Jo just said. I have an idea of how busy you must be.

Agree completely with the above statements.
It seems like October is actually our busiest time here.

Seeds are on the way .... no notes inside the envelops but I wish you 'll be successful with them.
I also hope I was not mistaken !
Winter apples have just been harvested, so I could add some seeds later if you want.

I received the peach pits. Thank you very much! I'll get the seeds out and stratify them soon, so they'll be ready to grow in the spring.
