Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I was thinking of planting a grape vine. According to a catalog I got there are variations that will actually survive MN Winters!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Well i am really disappointed we didnt train ours over the winter to go over a trellis, there are tons of vines now, more than when we got this place and lots on the ground. It would have made a beautiful arbor and nice place for some of my plants that prefer shade (which have since died!) ANyway.... grapes are way yummy, deep, deep purple and really sweet and the vine adds some nice green to a mostly drab red and rocky yard!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Where did you get your plants? I've been trying to find some (black/purple) wine grape vines (as opposed to the grapes you get in the supermarket, because I like the little thick-skinned wine grapes better), but haven't been able to find any. --JoJo herbal remedies , " Sylvia " <h10feet> wrote: > Well i am really disappointed we didnt train ours over the winter to > go over a trellis, there are tons of vines now, more than when we got > this place and lots on the ground.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I bought some grape plants !! I'm so excited, I nearly p**d my pants !! I have to wait until next spring to actually get them. But I ordered them -- 6 in all !!! I got 2 different kinds of dry red wine grapes (3 plants each), from Raintree Nursery. Oh yeah !!! I like them so much better than table grapes. Thanks again !! --JoJo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 You bet! Last year, we gave a ton to my sister and all her day care kids are impatiently awaiting this years harvest. These grapes were THE Sweetest i have ever tasted. The vine we bought was a Swenson. I'm trying to revive it, we'll see what happens. Glad Raintree worked out for you!
