I have several concord grape vines and a few other kinds that I planted last year. I put up wire and pole supports for them and now they are about 3 feet tall. I saw a basic illustration on how to trim the canes back to about 4 main stems. This is what confuses me- if grapes won't grow on old wood, do I cut off the canes that my grapes grow on next year when they are finished and wait for a new cane to grow out and replace it? How many buds should ther be on the whole plant? If I prune too much or too little, will the grapes still grow?
Finally- since we had such a drought this year and the grapes were very dry, if I want them healthy nexy year, should I fertilize them? With what?
thank you,
I'm new to this but I love gardening.
