Grape vines add drama to a garden. During spring, fertilize vines to establish them. Hybrid grapes blend European and American varieties for disease resistance. Take cuttings in spring when the vine is active, with 3 leaf nodes. Grapes need 8 feet between vineyard rows. To protect vines in winter, prune in spring after hard frosts. Sophisticated machines harvest wine grapes onto conveyor belts. Grapevine roots spread widely but can be transplanted when young.
