I've been searching for info on grape-growing today. The grapes are arriving next week and I should really have some clue as to what to do with them when they get here. I'm thinking four poles and a bunch of mulch, right now. A trellis-y structure eventually, though that can probably wait a bit since they are not likely to grow a great deal in the first year (not with the late spring we seem to be having). I also know that I am likely to get sidetracked by design ideas if I try to do the trellis right away; I will just have to be satisfied with four posts at the corners of an 8X8' area!

I am tired, debating a nap, although I had some writing I wanted to do as well--we'll see if I can formulate coherent sentences and then make a decision!

Which ones did you get?

I thought there would be tons of research involved, but when I enocountered four varieties that should grow in my area (we're borderline zone 4 and 5, but can usually grow zone 5 things) called Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, and Mars--well, the choice became much simpler. LOL!

These are actually more of a table grape and I expect the girls to eat most of them--although since I am totally a wine barbarian they would probably suit me fine for both uses! If they do well, I will probably add some more wine-y grapes in the future.

Oh I see! Very simple!

Very good, but I still suggest pruning the grapes until next year ;)
