I love my grapes!

One good thing, maybe the only good thing about our house not selling is that I got to enjoy my grapes. I planted two Concord grape plants 3 years ago in our backyard just because I love to eat Concord grapes. After the "excitement" of putting our house up for sell died down, I started to get a little bummed about my grapes. I planted the grapes knowing it would be at least 3 years before I would actually be able to eat the grapes. I'm not really a gardener, so I don't know why, but that's how they grow. So after weaving beautiful grape vines around the trellis for 2 summers, I finally had edible grapes this year.
This trellis is right outside our back door and helps block the air conditioner unit and the bathroom window. My 2 little grape plants grew up to be so big (I'm a proud mama) Of course I wish our house was sold, but until then it was nice to enjoy some yummy Concord grapes. So cross your fingers that next summer I will be able to start the whole process over again at a new house. It will be worth another 3 year wait for grapes!
