    Hi all,
    I have a 'Marechal Foch' Grape vine. It is growing really well but I have noticed these beed like items appear all along the stems etc. It looks like a droplet of water.

    These pics are not brilliant but I hope you can make it out.

    Not sure Pete,
    I'll try to take a better picture with another camera.
    I did think it was possibly the sap from the plant like you said in the other post. I'll keep a close eye on it. I certainly dont want any of those bugs vicotria mentioned. They look horrid.

    Nothing to worry about just your plant getting rid of excess moisture when this takes place through the leaves it's called transpiration when it exudes through the stem it's called guttation (droplet exudation) I notice you are well bubble wrapped it is very important to have a good circulation of air which will help, evaporation will be much quicker,try also not to overwater.
