Several years ago, when we were in our gardening glory, my husband and I planted three different types of grapes. We did not do anything special, just stuck them in the ground, tied them to our branch trellis as they grew, and were totally surprised to see that we actually had a couple clusters of grapes in the Fall! Then the next year we moved the garden around and the grapes were just left to wander on the ground. For the last two years, they have been propped up on a stretch of chicken wire, left to do their own thing, and I don't remember seeing any grapes last year. But on the same day this week, my husband and I both realized that we have baby grapes! A ton of baby grapes!
We have three different types, though I don't know what they are. I really like seeing the different leaf shapes and textures.
The one variety is later to bloom than the others, with the leaves just appearing now.
Maybe this Fall I'll be able to share a glass of homemade grape juice with you!
Are there any surprises in your garden this year?
