We planted two seedless grapes...one red and green. Anyway the deer hit them last year. This year they have grown and are doing fine....BUT, I turned the leaves over and there were a bunch of white aphid like bugs that blended with the white under the leaves. I just squashed some and others LEAPED away. I have not seen them on any of the other garden plants, only on the grapes. I tried to identify them but no luck so far...anybody know what they are? (no picture).

We planted 3 or 4 varieties of seedless grapes in the spring of 2009. The instructions said to pick all the flowers the following spring, which we did. This year we got our first batch of grapes.

Every danged one has SEEDS. Color me unhappy about that.

Hmmm, whiteflies? No idea. Best suggestion is to find an online extension service with the ag school closest to you. They will probably have a whole page on how to grow local grapes, varieties which work best, soil amendments you might need and diseases/pests that are a problem in your area.
