1 month after planting

I feels like ages, but my vines have been on ground only four and half weeks. There has been great progress (I think) and 13 of 15 plants are growing. I´m still hopefull for the two but if they are not giving any signs of living in few weeks I´ll change them to Madeleine Angwine plants that I did not get on june. There is some pictures on the side of the new growing Solaris and Siegerrebe. Solaris is the one with sharp shape leafs and Siegerrebe has a bit like oak leafs.

My risk paid off even there was few subzero nights on Finland at the end of june. This might be a problem in following springs, but I´ll prapere for it. Bigger problem might be rabbits. My yards is on open field so fresh sprouts may interest them. Good thing is that there are more than three hundred other garden yards that are open for animals so few rabbits ain´t crusial problem yet.

Last days have been very hot 23-26 dergees. I have given some water to the plants even vines normally don´t ned any spacial watering. New sprout have quite small root and open ground with 19 hours daylight can be very drying. They water vines also in Chile.
