- My Grape Arbor -

 

After two decades of producing only sparse grapes, it appears this year I might have something again.  They're still growing and should turn red in a month or two.

 

Had I known they would produce this year, I'd have taken better care in organizing the vines.  Last spring I redid the top portion of the arbor.  I still have some home made wine from 1985, the year I bought the place.  That year I also made grape juice, grape syrup, and grape jelly.  (I hate to waste anything).

 

The next year I had plenty of grapes too, but I wasn't as careful making the wine and it didn't turn out as good.  Hint:  That kind of wine has proven to be a good marinade for steaks!

A year or two later a strong storm ushered winds which blew the old arbor down.  That's when I rebuilt it the first time.
