Just think of all of those grapes you’ll be picking from now on!

It’s later in the season than I would like it to be but we should be OK….stay tuned!

The grapes are pruned and tidy. They’ve been a reclaimation project since we moved here. When we moved in, we weren’t even aware there was a grape arbor. The arbor and the fence were so overgrown with wild grapes, wild black raspberries, mulberry saplings and poison ivy, it wasn’t until I was clearing off the fence that I discovered the grape arbor. I suspect they hadn’t been pruned in years, if ever.

The arbor is not in a location I would have chosen, but since that’s where it is, I’ll make due. At least it’s looking like a grape arbor now. :o)

gardening question for you: i tried taking cuttings from other plants/shrubs such as lilacs but i couldn’t get them to grow…i’m thinking i didn’t have enough nodes or took them too close to the tip. is the process for taking cuttings from other plants similar to this process?
