hello I would love to grow grapes. But....is that possible in Saskatchewan? And would it be possible to protect them when winter comes? Saskia
There's not much info directly about Prairie grape growing, but this site: http://www.littlefatwino.com/ LittleFatWino Home Page will get you started on cold climate growing in general. There are links here to growers in Scandinavian countries and some other really cold places. The primary consideration is selecting of cold tolerant and short season ripening (those are very different characteristics) varieties, and then protection strategies for winter survival. The book "Northern Winework" is a "must have" if you decide to proceed. http://www.littlefatwino.com/nwinework.html Ralph
