I used to throw away all my prunings. Now I sort through them 3X and plant only the best of the best pieces (3 buds). 2/$5 seems a cheap gamble for such things. Some market days last summer, I sold out and had to drive home to get more.
Yesterday, I have some errands to run around the village. #1: "Can we buy grapes again from you this year?" #2: When will you start selling vines in the market this summer?" #3: "Can I buy cuttings from you and start my own?" #4: "What sort of a crop did you get last fall?" #5 in the grocery store: "Oh, you're the 'Grape-Guy.'"
I'm a new-comer here (15 years) and not related to anyone in the village. Selling grape vines and grapes, year after year, seems to given me a small but legitimate place.
Yes, the money is nice, not a lot but pays for soil and things. Maybe I splurge and buy a new wood carving tool or two.
