Grapes

There are four grape vines in the garden. Concord, Sovereign Cornation, Baco Noir, and an unknown variety. They are on a trellis and one is along the fence. This is the third year, and I expect a good picking. Last year I let the Concord produce and got 16 large clusters. The plants were planted in the Spring of 2005. This is my first effort at growing grapes, so it is a bit of a learning experience, particularly with pruning. Full sun and adequate moisture seems to be the main criteria, plus watch for bugs, like the Japanese beetle.
