Recently I set up some t-posts and ran some paracord across them. Now its time to plant the California Wild Grapes in four holes I dug. They will make a good food plot for the deer and will be fun to pick a few as well for whatever use we want. Though I think it may be a few years before they produce.
We were originally going to plant these into the fenced in area, but after reading more about the grape we figured this would be better for the wild life. I will still try them, but maybe a more sweet cultivar is worth growing inside the area where deer cannot get.
Regardless I am excited to grow grapes.. My only experience with grapes are the muscadines that grow wild in the area.
These are small now, but I hope they will be trained on the wire in just a few years.
I dug a good size hole for each.. around the size of a five gallon bucket.. Hopefully that is enough to keep them happy until they can grow strong enough roots to push through the hard clay.
So for now I will keep an eye on them and clear out weeds that try to compete. And maybe in a few years I will have some of these grapes to eat.
