Harvest of Plenty


Four years ago I purchased a few grape vines.  Not reading the inserts in the planters, I did not realize that Big Box stores often sell plants that do not grow in the climate where they are selling the plants.  My grapes are an example of this.  It is not supposed to fall below 20 degrees.  Ha!  Somehow though our 5 grape vines have managed to last 4 winters.  This summer is the first time they are producing fruit.  I am thrilled to try one of these that is if our naughty blue puppy does not eat all of them first.  We have caught her ever so delicately creeping up to the vines and pull off grapes one at a time (I blamed it on the squirrels until we caught her in the act).
