So far, the crops for which I have developed the most passion are my Grape Vines. I established half of them in 2014, when I first began
My Front Yard Garden. They were so tiny back then:

The other half, which I just planted this season, are the same size as the others were starting out. I am confident that they will flourish in the same manner as their predecessors.
As you can see, the established vines have grown a lot (2015).

And they’d begun producing.
I first noticed just a few grapes last week, which I mentioned previously.

At the time, I only spotted these few grapes on a singular plant.

They are literally everywhere:
I don’t drink wine or grape juice, but I love fresh grapes. Because of their high sugar content, they were on my list of fear foods for a period of time. Thankfully, I have made peace with that particular neuroses and have embraced the phyto-nutrients. I can consume an obscene amount in one sitting with nary a tummy ache.
I know that some people have food allergies which prevent them from enjoying this delicious pleasure and I am truly sorry for them. If I were confronted with this limitation, I might just keep an EpiPen on standby.

I like wine and grapes but not grape juice. If you get a ton of grapes at the same time maybe you could make grape jelly?
Hey MG,
If I have enough self-control not to eat them all, I may try my hand at preserves/jam/jelly!
I’ve always thought some sort of canning/pickling would be cool to try!
Same here! If I try it, I will definitely feature it in a post!
oh, man! the jam idea sounds divine, and i’m imagining hot porridge with jam drizzled atop. nomnomnomnomnomnomnom.
