2017 grapes so far

[Carol Dee]

@Nyboy you asked how the grapes are doing this year. So far so good. Here are the pink seedless in the back yard. I did not get to lot to photograph the concords.

When it came to grapes I researched and researched for disease resistant. Still have my fingers crossed

We planted 4 grape vines in 2015 and have yet to see any fruit. Fingers crossed for next year! Your grapes look delicious. Well done!

Just learned this year about summer grape pruning.

You do this to increase air flow. I first heard of it in an interview with the owner of a wine vinyard.

We have not. So far things are going fine, not too crowded Maybe as vines get older. DH does prune some to keep vine in yard and over fench, etc.

Carol, here's an idea for enjoying those grapes.

ROOSTER SALAD

Boil (simmer) one dead rooster, preferably cleaned, all afternoon until meat falls from bone.

Debone the meat, toss bones to dogs that are drooling all over the kitchen floor, watching your every move with intent stare.

Cut the meat into bite size pieces, or for ya'll that barely chew and wolf it down like the dogs do, half bite size pieces.

Chop 2 stalks of celery.

1/2 cup chopped pecans or your favorite nuts.

1/2 pound seedless grapes, cut in half.

A glop or two of mayonaise, just enough to hold it all together.

Chill and serve.

I DO have a rooster in my freezer that would do.
