Irrigated Wednesday 4/23. Soil is very dry.
Decided not to use the wreath technique to propagate new vines. Instead, over the past week , am cutting the runners into short 5" to 8" lengths and placing directly into 1 gallon pots. Before planting, each is scored at the bottom with the clippers and dipped in Rootone to encourage root development. Then pots are moved under a screen that blocks 60% of sunlight and misted one minute every hour.
To date have potted 33 Black Beauty's, 40 Nobles, 44 Carlos.
Lessons learned, and not learned, about growing muscadine grapes and making wine in southwest Florida.

Very cool blog site!! This is the first one I have checked out. I am a beginner trying to train a wild muscadine on the edge of my yard, along with a "Doreen" that I bought. I found your blog while "googling" for info. on how to do this. I sure have learned a lot about muscadines in the past month and a half!! Look forward to more of your posts as the season progresses!! Thanks. Ross in NC.
