Welcome to this new oregon grape growing group!

I've grown grapes in Massachusetts, N.B. Canada, and about 8 years
or so in Germany.
Oregon growing is probably quite a bit like the cool wet German
weather but a bit warmer.

I'm now growing grapes in Atlanta and currently have Long John,
Munson and Delicatessen in pots and have a few Champanel cuttings
hopefully on the way. Next year I hope to be able to get many more
varieties that have a chance to make it in Georgia or in states a
bit further north from here. I have areas of full sun as well as
partially shaded and completely shaded areas to keep the vines in
pots until I have a permanent place to start a small vineyard of
hopefully 100 to 400 vines again as I had in Germany.(perfect
example of one of my run-on sentences....teachers used to nail me
about these!)

I hope to at least be able to hang around and try to help any new
growers here with basic questions until a few more experienced grape
growers from Oregon join us.

State groups tend to start out slowly but after a group reaches
about 10 members or so, it tends to grow rapidly.

Hope to hear a bit about your grape growing experience in Oregon and
to meet other vitoregonians here!
Mike
