Vines hibernation

The autumn has reached southern Finland. Actually it came fast. At the end of september came some snow and there where few nights when temperature went under zero.

My vines had still quite green leafes before cold night and after that they went brown in few days. So they probably froze. I hope plants have enough power now to survive winter time.

I put my vines to hibernation last week. I rolled some frost gauze on them and poured sawdust around the plants so they should be ok. There has been some very mild winters for few years in Helsinki area so if it stays the same I´m fine with it.

I´m already waiting for spring. It was so nice to see how vines started to grow. Next summer I might get some grapes so my actual meaning of growing vines might get to the next stage.
