Grape vine pruning

Hi all, it's been a long time since I posted here. I've been really ill. It took a long time to recover from a triple heart bypass operation and an Aortic valve replacement back in May 2023; while holidaying with my family in Palma Nova, 5 days turned into 6 weeks; then medivac home, I've been busy trying to catch up as my energy allows. Here I am in Feb 2025. Spring is just around the corner, so it's time to get the fruiting plants pruned and ready for spring growth, so here goes. 

First, it is time to prune the grapevine. It needs repotting from when it was bought in early 2023 and has not been touched since then since it needs to go to a bigger pot. I will leave it in a larger pot this year to see what sort of growth it will produce before settling in its final position in the ground later in the dormant part of this year.

Oops, that fence really needs a few coats of western red. Four prominent leaders to start the pruning and see what spring brings forth. More to follow.
