Sometimes you make some good decisions. You may not know that they’re good at the time, but they turn out well in the end. Witness my Reliance grapes. This is season two and they seem to be living large. Lots of sun, some nice sandy loam, regular moisture and voila! This fall I will cut back these bad boys to one vertical each. I’ve read that grapes fruit on second year wood so next year should produce more bunches of grapes. This year we only got the one pictured here, but it was more than I had expected.




Wow, that’s great! I think it took several years before my grapes made any fruit. They’re covered with little bunches now, but nowhere near the size of yours!
Patience matters with some plantings. Memom waited 7 years for her peonies to bloom.
