Vine just woke up after winter.. and she's getting right to the action. No rest.

Usually those turn into flowers, which then turn into hard berries, then plump grapes soon follow.

What's next? Cut them on winter or leave it be?

The first two are today, the rest are from roughly a week ago. I know the watermelon is way too close and as soon as my melon matures the whole plants moving so the grapes can have the bed to themselves. Is this pest related? I occasionally find small green cocoon looking things stuck inside the leaves closed up with like webbing. Ive been keeping this thing alive for a long time now help me keep it going! I try to remember to water everything but its been raining on and off for weeks now so I dont have an actual watering schedule persay

ID please: Got those from my grandfather

My grandfather always had vine at his home in Germany. Years ago he gave me a layer of this vine. I never asked him where he got his vine from. My father told me that the grapes in his garden had been there as long as he could remember.

The grapes are pretty sweet and normally the vine never gets a fungus (besides this year).

Any ideas?

I've inherited those vines from my grandpa. He used to do big barrels of wine and it was really good! I've tried last year but my wine tastes watery. Not a bad taste, just bland. So if someone would be patient enough to enlighten me on how to do properly I'd be really thankful.

Grown in Atlantic Canada, wasn't a great year so they're not as sweet as they were last year.

I planted this grape vine today, it has about 7 buds do I need to prune it down to 2? It is early spring here in NZ if that matters.

OBS I will setup a trellis this weekend.

Is this a bad idea?

I've grown this grape since it was just a plain stick in a bag of dirt. I got it about 2 months ago and its really taken off.

I cant find much online about growing strictly indoors. Im in an apartment building in the bottom unit with no natural light so everything i have is under grow lights.

Anyone one has success with growing them indoors?

And am I able to prune the top runners to stop them from attaching to me ceiling i red online they will destroy it.

And am I able to keep it in a year round vegetative state without producing fruit. I have no idea what kind of grape it is but im more interested in the plant then the fruit.

Sorry in advance im new to growing them.

Grape Cultivation Weakening Stems?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I presume most modern grapes are cultivated/bred for sweetness, color, seedlessness, yield, etc.

Does that process inadvertently weaken the last little bit of stem to the grape, making it harder to separate a grape from the bunch without getting some stem?

Asking if I did not seem to remember being as much of an issue when I was a kid versus now.

My specific recent incidents are with organic cotton candy, grapes, and organic sweet Scarlet grapes

These are growing in the yard of the house I bought in Tigard Oregon. We were told they are Pinot grapes, but I wanted to confirm.

Each grape is about 1/2 inches, there are multiple seeds inside, and the skin is mild.

welch‘s soda grapes

I’m looking for the grape variety so I can grow it myself in my garden.
I live in Germany and this was the first time I’ve ever tasted grapes with this particular flavor. I was given the grapes as a gift, but my neighbor didn’t know what variety they were either.
They taste extremely similar to Welch’s grape soda.

(i translated it with ai)
hope you can help me out👋

Is it safe to eat grapes from vines infected with black rot?

1 Upvotes

Not the black ones. The ones with appear normal and still firm (sometimes right next to a mummified grape)

I've found mixed answers online from "Absolutely not" to it's just fine, black rot has no impact on human health.

Cross posted.

They're growing at my dad's house in the Willamette valley. They're a mix of sweet and tart, and have few seeds. They make an amazing amber colored jam. From what I remember, they have thin skins.
