Grapes!!

[editrx]

The 100+-yr-old grapevine in front of our house moved itself & is bearing Concord grapes for 1st time in 50 yrs.

YUM.

NEAT! Will there be enough to play with, recipe-wise? Or just much on as you pass by?

We only got three clusters, basically as a fluke. We think the vine moved about 20 feet over the last 20 years, searching for sun (smart grapes!). It's unfortunately established itself against a tree right at the entrance to the driveway, hanging itself off a limb of the tree.

What we need to do is figure out how to "move" the vine to a more hospitable spot and arbor it properly, without killing the vine. I know nothing about grapes, so this is going to be interesting.

Very cool.

And how I wish we could have visited when I was back east. I would so have loved to see you.
