The birds beat me to my grapes but at least I still have all the leaves!
The birds are really the bane of my grape growing experience. Most years they seam to beat me to them being just ripe. I though I was keeping a close eye and sampling them regularly to figure out when they were rip, but the birds preferred to wait till they were rip and just eat most of them.
I need to spend some more time really pruning and training the vines better as well. This year I built them a new support and they went totally wild! I have a huge dense wall of vines now.
The one thing that’s great about these vines is that I can actually eat the leaves! There are a few recipes that call for wrapping meats and rices in some grape leaves.
And I got some good massive ones!
Looking forward to trying it out!
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Birds love grapes, yes you still have leaves. Looks like you would of had a lot of grapes too.
