Proper pruning and early warm spring weather have shown positive effects in March. This is just the beginning of grape production at Cottrell Country Farm. A few of the muscadines have come out, but many more are on their way. There are three steps to proper pruning and so far, I’ve only winter pruned. Getting soil samples and properly fertilizing also have reaped benefits. While our crop of grapes our still young, we hope to start selling table grapes this year at the Hillsboro Farmers Market. The market will be opening 2 May. See you at the market!
