VASCM: Vine Leaf Problem - Help

[Jim Varano]

Tom....Thanks for the comic relief,I need some...This is stressing me out. I received an e-mail from Prudy...she forwarded my concerns and pictures to a gentleman from the UC Davis extension...I will wait to hear from him.
I'm starting to believe this is way beyond my scope.
Thanks
Jimmi V.

I haven't harvested any grapes. I really haven't sprayed due to not harvesting grapes. But this year I am on a schedule. I have tried to fertilize by placing the tea bag packets under the vines...But I have a dog that eats those.....tried twice...vet bill was high...dead dog walking now.
