I have a 8 foot wide grape arbor. It goes up to 8 feet and down the other side only 4 feet. How many Concord grape vines do I need to fill this arbor?
This article says 4 feet apart for arbors.

My grapevine produced the first time last summer, but the grapes have seeds. The label is marked: Grape Seedless, "King Of The North" vitis labrusca.
They are what is left of what would be a seed. They aren't a seed, themselves. They will not germinate, and are not viable.
Now, leaving them on the vine for too long, as well as a few other environmental factors, can cause these false seeds to be larger and more noticeable.

We followed all the directions given for our 6 vines that are 5-6 yrs old to transplant them and only 1 vine is budding the others are not. We live in Saginaw, MI. Never had an issue and every year we’ve had 1,000’s of grapes. Any suggestions on how to fix? I bought the correct fertilizer as well. I water once a week as your site suggests. Please help Thank you, Michelle K.
Make sure to ALWAYS test your soils before feeding to be sure that one nutrient is not built up over another. This can create issues with uptake. Another thing that I would, personally, recommend would be to measure soil moisture before watering. Often, in areas where rain is plentiful, it will not be necessary to water at all!
