a few grapes
This is what we got off our 4 grape vines this year . They grow up and over our pergola for shade in the summer .
Juice will get canned and stored . I am not a fan of wine , but with local apples comeing now . Maybe some Grapple cider

Re: a few grapes
Grape vine grown on a pergola is very traditional where I grew up, everybody had it. I would like to do the same one day. Awesome!

Re: a few grapes
That’s great! How old are your vines?
I only have one that’s trying to do anything so far. This is the 2nd year for them. I’m jealous!

Re: a few grapes
@DavidBarkey does it have a story how you got it and did you multiply it yourself or what?

Re: a few grapes
Some here are trying fence and electric fence combo. I rely on traps and a Ruger 1022. The neighbors (gardeners) and local farmers have thanked me. 10 or 15 years ago we had a hug problem with mange and other diseases related to overpopulation. Not to mention gardens and fields being torn up, oh and the bird feeders trashed too.

Re: a few grapes
This year we got to them before they did . And it helps that the neighbor bagged a couple . So population took a short term dip .

Re: a few grapes
The pergola came out of a pile of ceder logs my dad gave us for getting rid of them . The vine were the idea and she picked them out . We planted them at the 4 corner post. A little fertilizer and nature done the rest .
