Grape Ape

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.

What a week of mostly sunshine and one downpour can accomplish:

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.

  1. 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?
