Grape, The Vine
This is my grape vine's second season and it stands 7 feet tall. After pruning the vines this past winter, they are now producing new leaf growth. My grape vines grow on a trellis, but I will train them later during winter season to grow horizontally on a fence. During my adolescent years growing up in the Midwest, my parents grew many grapes. My mother used the grapes to make juices, jelly and for canning, while lots of the fresh fruit were used for snacks. This plant was given to me three years ago in hopes I could save this precious plant.. and I did! : ) Now whether this vine will produce fruit this season.. I really don't know, but I sure have my fingers crossed!
Appreciating Beautiful Nature Up Close Through Gardening, Photography, Exploring & Hiking
Exploring nature is derived through my unique gardening, photography, and hiking. Appreciating nature is instilled within, and the importance of a healthy environment is of importance to me.
Book Explorer Of The Month

Exploring A Nature Journal Of Flowers is an exciting book of various blooms that I've explored, and some blooms that I grow. Nature is amazing...especially when discovering that some selective trees produce flowers, too, or a plant growing in soil is capable of producing the most beautiful bloom. Capturing the beauty of flowers in my book is just a fragment of our wonderful nature.
