Mama grape-vine is producing!

Do you know how to make wine?

Can you layer a vine? so that it starts to grow in your garden they look lovely with that 'bloom'

just what i was thinking--- both of you !! :0)))

Lucky you. Does your wife know yet that you've been sneaking the water? Lol :o))

Oh, yum. I planted 3 concord grape vines last year. Two were destroyed by turtles, but the 3rd is huge and growing and growing every day. It's almost like kudzu! Can't wait for those grapes!

Humm! Wild grape wine...
Yes, I know how to ferment grapes and other fruits into wine.
The wild grape wine would certainly have a "tangy" taste!
I might try that! ;-)
Great idea Heron!

Lindalooloo, the water was the least of my concerns. I have been "borrowing" some sugar from my wife's humming bird mix to rev up the biological activity around the vine's base. {sinister grin}

hahaha Lol :o)))

The local Grackles have taken a liking to the fresh grapes and are EVERYWHERE! There are half-eaten grapes all over the ground..
Our yard used to be full of White-Wing Doves and the black-birds have taken over, hogging the bird baths and splashing all of the water out of them..

Mother nature is SO cool to watch.

Our grape looks similar to your wild one N2 (Pinot Noire). Ours was starting to travel too... into next door....about 50 to sixty feet long. We had the wild bit chopped off, down to about 35 feet, and the grape crop this year has been fantastic. We still have fall colour to enjoy. Then sadly it gets taken back to the main stem which is as thick as my wrist. The stem out of the ground is getting very large. I shall miss all that lovely fringe of leaves. No starlings seem to have eaten the grapes this year so far

Good news!
I have found out that my particular grape vine is the "Mustang" type that grows wild in Texas and there are many recipes on the net for making "Mustang wine" from the native grapes. From what I have read, the fermenting process takes the natural sour taste out of the Mustang grapes.. This'll be fun next growing season!

What a fantastic name for a galloping grape... Mustang.....enjoy the wine. Our grapes are very juicy and sweet...... Thinking of putting them in the juicer then filtering them......lot of work to drink as grape juice.
