GRAPES - Available

WARNING! I am a flake!

That said, I am a flake that is pruning the grape vines. If you want some, let me know. They are 3 varieties of muscadine. So far, only one variety has be harvested, it's the vine we fondly refer to as "C". Supposedly you need male and female plants (I can't tell the difference) and also supposedly we have 2 females and 1 male. So, if I send to you, I'll send cuttings of all 3.

Tell me if you want 3, 6, 9, or 12 cuttings of each.

I also have available a few of Tom Wagner's "Snarky Snake" potato ready to go in ground.

I also have some garlic.

Tell me if you want and I'll send what I can.

If I've mailed you anything before with a computer generated label, I already have your address.

Home life is going slightly crazy....
1. GARLIC - I'm going to try to send out what I have available by Tuesday of this week. I'll post to let you know if I'm successful in this endeavor.
2. GRAPES - I've had some feedback on the grape cuttings I sent out previously. So far, 0% success of sprouting. I'm thinking of 2 changes and I'd love some feed back if anyone has time.
a) Sprouting cuttings in vermiculite prior to mailing.
b) Seed. I'm harvesting grapes now through September. I'm GUESSING that if I mill the seeds out, I put them in a jar, add some water, and allow to ferment. Pretty much like tomato seeds. I have no idea if seed will come true or not.

I would love to try a few Muscadine grape cuttings, 3 or 6 of each. I would expect that rooting this late would be good, not forcing but lettign them get a good root system before sprouting in the spring. I am not sure how hardy they will be. I am in Central Illinois, Zone 5
