Attention Duluthians
I just planted a few Frontenac grape vines that are hardy down to -35F. The Frontenac are a hybrid developed by the U of M and this particular farmer. It is disease resistance and will produce hella grapes. Grapes are easy to grow, don't need watering except for drought times, and produce edible morsels of fruit. I have a dream that the stepped backyards of Lincoln park could be filled with grape vines. If anyone is interested please contact these people, these prices are too good to be true.

Apparently there is no pickup. However, if we gang together we can get the best deal on the order.
Does anyone know how much one would need to cover 15 feet (after growth)?

In.dog and I are very interested in buying about a dozen or so vines to create a property line...
we could coordinate the ordering, if people are really interested. Email me at pyntathotmaildotcom.
