Last night, I complained to DH that one of the grapes I ordered (Edelweiss) was not available as they'd had a bad year at the nursery, so I was vaguely disappointed. Now I've only got one table grape that ripens fairly early--was hoping to have at least a couple of vines that would produce throughout the season, in different colors, but no such luck.

DH says, "Just buy grapes at Whole Foods already." :th

Because, you know, $7/lb. watery, halfway-to-raisins Thompsons White Seedless grapes imported from Chile are just as good as the kind fresh-picked at their sugar peak and eaten within 48 hours.

*sigh* He understands the difference when it comes to sugar snap peas, tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries. He cannot extend this reasoning to grapes?

Oh well, off to start the chores and corn-planting.

Mine could not get it either.... but I let him eat some grapes I got from a neighbor's vine and he was hooked!!!

That night he researched grapes with me and I bought him his first vine... he's been amazingly attentive to that vine, and he's patient.

He's craving them so much he keeps saying the store bought just aren't the same. Which is great, but I can't afford those!!!! :ep
