Our grape vine

[Corzhens]

We were just guessing when we pruned our grape vine which had big leaves and long branches. After that, what sprouted were small leaves and short branches. And little did we know that those short branches will bear grapes. Yeah, we are happy to report that we are seeing the first 2 bunches of grapes. We are hoping that more bunches will emerge and another hope is that the vendor in the nursery would be true to his words that this grape is seedless.

Here is the pic of our grape -

Oh yum! Grapes would have to be one of my favorite fruits of all time - but they are so expensive here! I don't think I have the right conditions locally to grow them though

They don't look too bad, but it doesn't have a lot of fruit. This year I won't have any grapes, the rain ended late and was followed by very hot weather so they ended developing mildew. I am not the only one that went through the same thing all my neighbors and friends are complaining about the same thing.

Here is the latest about our grapes. There are 2 bunches with 8 grapes each. The bigger bunch has started to ripen so we are excited in awaiting for the first harvest. Here is the pic taken last Saturday.

But this morning when I checked on the ripening grapes, they are gone. Yeah, all of the 8 fruits are gone. The other bunch which has 8 grapes now has only 3 left and they are all green yet. We suspect the birds may have eaten the fruits. This is our first time with grapes so we are ignorant about it.

That sucks

Can you cover the fruit with a plastic bag or netting?
