Good everything's growing for you...maybe a bit early to uncover the Passiflora?
We never bought grape plants. Just took 3-foot long cane cuttings from friend's vineyard.
Mark "UP" with a felt pen before you cut in case they bud without roots (just stick them in the ground then)
Put them damp into a plastic bag, tied it and left it in the laundry room for 2 weeks.
Presto! grape cuttings with roots ready to plant.
The only way to get the type of grapes you want.
The sun's higher and warmer.
SPRING is on the way after a long winter for most of us.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
The top of the passoflora is dead. Its the roots i was really worried about. Im 95% sure its a Ceurlea ( or some hybrid), which dies back to the ground and comes back ( repotedly in zone 6 and 5). Im not expecting growth from last years vines. Im excited about the green vines becasue that means the roots are good! The temps here wont be enough to do any damage to anything I have in ground ATM.
Im trying to stay away from buying plants now (unless i cant get them another way). The only person I know growing white grapes is my neighbor, who doesnt know the type, and uses the grapes for wine ( old school italian). The grape was 6 bucks, good deal. Its seedless, table grape " which tastes very similar to the grocery store kind in sweetness". My kind of grape!. Not overly productive, but i wont need 20 pounds of grapes. LOL
Yes the sun is nice and toasty!, lows at -9C the lowest usualy around -5C, days ar 2C to about 9C. The snow half melted in 2 days!
