Jim has been growing grapes in marginal areas since 1974. He currently runs the Rist Canyon Vineyards. Rist Canyon vineyards is a varietal trial and research vineyard in the Colorado Front Range Foothills.
I would like to pass on to you some of the tricks and practices that I have learned since I planted my first vineyard back in 1974.
What you are going to read in the RCV Grape Growing tips ebook are:
I hope you enjoy this little book. It comes out of my love and devotion to the art of growing grapes. It comes out of years of growing grapes in backyards, alleys, mid-west farms, and now in the scenic Colorado foothills. Through times of frustration and sadness to times of great success. I've never had the capital to commercially grow grapes but they have always been my hobby, my PASSION............and maybe the wine.
I'm Jim Bruce and I do grape research to determine what grape varieties grow well under the marginal growing conditions imposed by the foothill environment of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I also am researching different cultural practices used in growing grapes to see which ones help the vines avoid our late spring frosts without damage to the flowering buds, mature fruit in our very short growing season, and harden-off properly to be able to withstand variable winters of fluctuating cold and warm periods.
Let me pass on some of the things that I have learned about growing grapes.
