UB, I wanna take a shot at some Grapes. Is there a variety you recommend in Central TX? I was looking at Spanish Black. There is a 2.5 acre vineyard growing Spanish Black about 30 minutes from me.
Do I need to wait until spring to plant?

I have a 16 x 5 x 2ft (tall) raised bed already. I was thinking about using 16 x 2.5 of it for two plants running a trellis down the 16 feet.
Could I still plant some leafy green in the fall and tomato/peppers in the spring in the remaining 16 x 2.5 fairly problem free? Or, give the grapes all of the 16 x 5?
I have a 10 x 6 as well that one starter could go in.

The soil for the bed was purchased from a garden center 2 years ago. I was going to add a ton of leaf humus/compost to the bed in early September. I have clay soil in the ground, so I was thinking the raised bed would be better.

RDR,First thing Id do is check attic for insulation,I bet its got very little.
I rented the blower deal from Home Depot and blew more in my house,Amazing how much it lowered the bill.
The white insulation does not itch like that damn yellow man that chit makes you scratch like crazy.
When im messing with Duct board,I apply baby powder seems to help alot, from getting the glass in skin,always take a cold shower,hot opens the pores,and makes it worse imo.
I make spaces with that R-Max board,Its cheap and easy as hell to make a flower r veg station.

East of Austin - Black Spanish, Lomanto, Blanc du Bois.

West of Austin - most any viniferas. My faves are Tannat, Vermentino, Mouvedre, Viognier, Petite Verdot. Syrah, Merlot and Grenache are good too.
