Thank you W and M :))
Vines tend to grow like weeds here! It's difficult to get it wrong! lol! This a north African variety planted in full sun...and, strangely, not targeted by wasps which is what usually happens to my vines...
...guess what, Marshmallow...they're ready already!
One bunch eaten...sweet and delicious!!! :))))

Thank you, C! In the last six years, it's the first bunch of grapes I've managed to get to before the wasps! :))

They are, Pixi! Usually we just have wine grape vines from the market...but this time, I pushed the boat out...and it was worth it!!!

Yes! :)

And, hopefully, Camil (with all his years of French knowledge) will know exactly how it should be pruned, to get a nice thick gnarled trunk and lots more fruit!

Oh yes! Camil! Your garden should be in good hands! :)
Should be able to make some wine then!
