Yes, this was the first year the vine ...Hi Parsnip,<br />Yes, this was the first year the vine gave us more than a few grapes. I don't know that we live in a more civilized area--our long grey rainy winters are kind of a trade-off! <br /><br />Hi Steven,<br />It's really quite simple to make preserves--although I agree the preservation of sanity is probably more valuable.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-1269376581063232912011-10-18T03:51:38.336-07:002011-10-18T03:51:38.336-07:00that's it? really? i have never preserved a th...that's it? really? i have never preserved a thing in my life - well except my sanity!!! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-85557415636483283022011-10-17T19:06:46.112-07:002011-10-17T19:06:46.112-07:00So envious that you have a garden shed with grape ...So envious that you have a garden shed with grape vines. <br />Beautiful photos. The grapes look so lovely, was this the first year they had fruit ?<br /> <br />When I bought my home 5 years ago there was a grape vine growing that was very neglected. The first year there were small purple grapes but before I could see if they were good a Cardinal family moved in and devoured them in two days. Plus various critters and scorpions like to hide out in the vines so I had them ripped out.<br />You live in a more civilized area that I do.<br /><br />The jam you made does look fabulous and who ever is on your Christmas list is indeed lucky.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.com
