yard work – the grape harvest
We had a frost on October 4 and today, I harvested my grapes. You will imagine tubs of ripe fruit, hands stained purple and a row of grape jelly jars on the counter.

But my grape harvest is a bit small. However after ten years, this is the first ‘harvest’ from this vine so I am quite proud! No jelly though. I ate the lot of them, sitting in the yard, admiring the autumn leaves. They were juicy, sweet and delicious.

the entire harvest!

Haha……demand out-strips supply! That makes them grapes mighty valuable and prized!

There is ‘something’ about that bitch tree… one year our pumpkin vines grew into its branches and we had pumpkins hanging from the tree!
