Concord grapevines this morning. I was so surprised to see the amount of growth. They are much earlier than last year. I was posting a picture of a grapevine with much less growth last year on April 12th. They are calling for a frost maybe Wednesday night. Here's hoping the weatherman is wrong.

Our concord vines were off to a great start too, here in NW Arkansas, but now since that drop into the mid-twenties for three nights running, sadly it was all for nothing. We've got bare vines all over again. From the looks of what I can find on the web, we can expect so much as a 85% crop loss.

How did it go for you?

We also have severe frost damage. I will post a picture of dead shoots soon. Very sad. Not sure about the crop loss, I know there will be some but I'm optimistic. I think your vines will come back, and produce a crop, but it will be smaller. Good luck to you.
