Hi Carol, I have a grape vine that I will have to prune too. I am new to grapes and just moved it last spring, so I'm not sure whether I should let it grow and establish itself this year, or prune it first thing. I do think any pruning in general would be better off late in the winter, because with our crazy weather this year and the warm weather during winter months, I wouldn't want to encourage growth before spring.

I think this unseasonably warm weather makes us feel like spring is around the corner and we get itching to get out there and start gardening (g).
