| Red Flame Grapes...the plant |
Temecula is known throughout Southern California for its wineries and has a Wine Country of its own; wine tasting, hot air balloons, award-winning wines; we've got 'em for sure. Maybe this part of the country is meant for grape growing. I brought home one bare root plant from Home Depot in early spring with great expectations, a Red Flame seedless variety; kept it potted, don't know why, instead of putting it into the ground; never did stake the plant, but should have. The fruit of my efforts? tah dah!! See me own bunch of grapes? The one tiny grape that I taste-tested is good, but size and quantity...not so much. Side note: The possum came after my strawberries, but not the grapes. I wonder why not the grapes... Maybe I'll try a couple more grape vines (this time in the ground) next planting season...Calico Quilter's teeny tiny vineyard; LOL! Maybe the possum missed the grapes because they are so tiny?
