Hi all. Received some cuttings from a winemaker friend in Capadocia. Not sure the variety. I want to start a small vineyard. I planted them in half sand, half dirt mix in early spring and this is their current state.
Weather on my mountainside property (elevation 400meters) is hot and dry, 33c daytime, 24c nights. Winters are mild, although temps can hover around 3-4c for a few weeks with the occsional -2c nights. We might not see substantial rain for a couple of months. Timered drip irrigation or hand watering is not a problem.
What would be the best time of year to put them in the ground? I can wait until spring, but it would likely mean up potting them. I'd prefer to put them in the ground.
Any advice would be appreciated.
