Hi,

I've noticed on two of the grapevine plants we recently planted, the
leaves have
either got holes on them, or some edges are brown and
crisp.

I've attached an example of each case, any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

  hello, since this is something just
planted it is hard to separate a leaf
trouble from the basic facts that
the plant is just getting established.

  look for leaf chewers at various
times of the day (and night) and
see if you can isolate the critter
for further help.  of course, hand
picking them off upon observation
can provide some relief (put them
in a cup of soapy water and they'll
drown).

  the leaf curl just might be from
the watering you need to do to
get it going.  hard to say completely
at this distance.

  a local friendly neighbor with
experience with this plant would
be nice to find.  :)  any local
gardening orginisations you can
find?

  good luck,
