Grapes

All of our grapes are growing this spring!  The last vine has really taken off and has reached up to the wire. The middle grapes are slowly catching up. Our transplant of Grandpa Smith's concords have blossoms!  We thought they were done for, but they're still growing!  

Grape Juice

We tried our hand at grape juice. It was before I bought the cheese cloth. Haha 

We'll see how it goes when we crack open these quarts. It might take a LOT of Sprite to cover the pulpy taste. Cross your fingers! 

This week

I know I've slacked off on the photo journal this week. It's been busy and I'm exhausted. I know this is cheating, but I'm doing it anyway! 

Here are a few pictures of our fun jelly making session today. We used a couple of grocery sacks full of Grandpa and Grandma Grape's (Smith's) grapes. It is such a tasty and perfectly sweet jelly. It was so delicious Evan was caught stealing spoonfuls! 

Grapes

Andy transplanted one of Grandpa Smith's grape plants along the North fence. There are buds on the vine. I hope they flourish!
