Rooting grape cuttings

I purchased some grape cuttings and put them directly in the ground. Of the 30 I planted, 29 have leafed out and I haven't given up on number 30 yet. The question I have is this. Many of them have 2-3 leaves and are starting to have blossoms. Should I leave the blossoms or pinch them off? Will they zap the energy needed for better rooting? Thanks

Greg, aren’t grapes amazing! Figs start about ‘that easy,’ too..

I’d pinch out the ‘blooms’ or potential clusters. It’s late, and I doubt they’d even mature. But most of all, I’d want that energy creating strong root systems.
