You could dig it up and add more soil. But grapes are just rooted cuttings so the part below ground is all rooted stem. I don't see where adding more soil on top would cause any issues. Those are tiny grapes clusters expanding. I'd cut them off this year. You can leave a few next year if it grows well this year. I'd cut it back to that bottom strong cane and tie it off to the stake for support. The young canes are prone to blowing out until they harden off. Wrap the brown part around the stake as well or tie it to the stake. Make loose ties so as not to strangle the shoots and remove the tie when it's no longer needed.

I try to cut them down every year, but man do those things grow fast! And thick vines! Some are as thick as my wrist and grow so high up in the trees there's no way I can reach them. But...I'll find a place for the new ones and keep a good eye on them. Thanks. ;) V.

Thank you Terry. It still is just a stick in the ground at this point. i hope it comes back. We are expecting some nice sunny weather this week and if it doesn't show something soon, I may have to replace it. Yah, the damn dog thinks everything is a toy. Bruce

I used to put potted plants under the canopy so they could escape the hot sun on their pots. Mostly fig trees, but we moved and the figs are all in ground now. They did share the drip system with the vineyard.
