Trellising the grape vines

We've had some trouble getting this Sultana (Thompson Seedless) vine to produce a lot of fruit. Again, the rootstock and remnants of a trunk were here when we bought the house, and so we have not been able to train it in the way the vineyards do.

 

We removed some pickets from this 4' low fence and bought 12 gauge fencing wire at a TruValue hardware & furniture store downtown. A 4-generation Mom & Pop wins the day! (We struck out at both Home Depot and the Farmer's Exchange.) 50' of this wire cost 5US$ + sales tax.
