Grapes

Our concord grape vines bushes are severely over grown.  What you don’t see behind this picture is that some of the vines have snaked their way into the brush behind them, into the back yard and up the pine tree.  We actually have Tarzan worthy vines to swing on in the back yard thanks to the grapes. 

Grapes- Front

But anyway, despite the not-so-ideal set up, there are a decent amount on grapes on the vines.   To protect them from the birds we have confined the vines behind a big net.

Wrapped

If this works, we should be blessed with some delicious grapes for grape jelly after the first frost.  Cross your fingers!
