šŸ‡ A GRAPES JOURNEY šŸ‡

Our Grapes are all nearly ready.  This year, we covered one set of vines with a thin wire mesh to discourage wildlife from getting them all.  Because the grapes are from different vines, some look a bit different.  I've chronicled their growth journey from early May until now.šŸ˜ƒšŸ‡

@cheriere   Yum!   Great pictures capturing the beauty of nature.   Thanks 

 

What do you do with the grapes besides eating them?  My grandpa used to make wine.

I always find it fascinating to see how different plants begin too.

Years ago, my parents would make wine with some and jelly and juice with the rest.  Since my dad no longer drinks, we're going to eat all we can and make jelly with the rest lol.šŸ˜ƒšŸ‡

Beautiful!  Grapes are my favorite fruit, so I would be in heaven around your grapevines.  My mouth is watering thinking about how delicious those plucked off the vine grapes will taste. Emoji

@cheriere wow they are beautiful!  I would be in heaven just walking through where you live seeing all the different fruits, veggies and flowers.  For someone like me who is not familiar, it's amazing to see folks grow stuff.

Thank you so much.šŸ˜ƒā¤ļø

We eat a lot of grapes around here lol.  Since winter, we've bought a large bag from Walmart every single week.  I'm thrilled to get to have our own for a little while.  I just wish the growing window were a bit longer lol.

@cheriere  I love grapes too and my mom used to buy them, wash them and let them air dry.  Then she would freeze them.   To me they are delicious as a frozen summer treat and they last a while!
