Hi there all. You were so helpful at identifying my silly poison ivy berries, I need your help again here - and wasn't sure where to post this. :) I took a cutting (including some root) of this gorgeous wild black grape vine (or what I think is one anyways...) - growing by a ditch near St. Ambroise, Manitoba - and have been rooting it in water this spring. It has several small leaves now and about 3-4 inch long roots, coming out of the one foot tall woody stem. When would it be okay for me to plant it into soil in my south-facing garden (I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and generally our gardening season starts after May long weekend)? Or, should I plant it into peat indoors, and see if it continues to develop first before exposing it to sunlight outdoors - because I know that water-rooted plants often have trouble surviving in soil... HAPPY SPRING TO YOU ALL! :D

Okay - I was fooled again... :( I guess I've never seen Creeper with berries before, and the berries looked so much like black grape - which my mother in law has growing in her garden - that I was sure that's what it was. Now that I look again, the stems definitely are not red on the grape vine... Thank you for that id - from your link it would seem it is the P. inserta. Do you have any recommendations for me regarding how to safely move it into the garden from water-rooting?
