You can actually store fresh grapes over winter. You cut them on a long stem & then put the stem in water like a flower & store in a cool room or root cellar. the victorians used todo it and even had special vases for them.
My 1 grandfather (born 1896) had an grapevines & arbor kinda like yours! Under trees! Then he would take a vine and cut halfway through! Put in pail of sand! Water! Root! & sell them!

Nice arbor. I see you have various sizes of grapes in each bunch. This is likely to be a boron deficiency. If you foliar spray just before and just after flowering this should help both fruit set and size consistency. Grapes love plenty of P and K also.
Having grape clusters hanging down for picking like that is so cool! I want to do something like this with muscadines, but maybe on a smaller scale at first. How do you handle pests? Do you have a problem with birds, wasps, spiders, etc getting to your grapes?
I've never heard of muscadines! We hardly have any pests bother the grapes. Sometimes late in the season, when grapes are starting to go bad, wasps will come.
@@TheQuarterAcreHomestead I see. That eases my mind a little. I just don't want a wasp nest to pop up haha. And dude, muscadine grapes are AWESOME. Theyr'e native to the southeast US, and they have an amazing flavor and are really sweet. The only downside is they have seeds. I have a couple of vines in containers right now, and I can't wait to get them in the ground. I highly recommend them!
@@Angvb14 yeah I find that's the way to go. They have to meet quotas at the stores, so they'll often pick them way before they're ready and you have to sort through them. On the vine, you know they're ready when they're soft and not firm. Sometimes they'll have a slight fragrance too.
Omg u gotta look up muscadine grapes they are amazing but you don't really eat the outside you squeeze it and the fruit pops out of it and it's so amazing there's gold and a purple burgundy color you would be able to grow them so well my father inlaw has both and they are amazing we are from GA live here and he grows them I want to but I'm not that great with gardening I just suck at it lol
Hey that's a cool arbor! I'm in Colorado and in my area I have a lot of bentonite clay. I'm not sure how my grapes are going to do long term. I dug large holes to plant 3 vines in, and used a mixture of regular dirt and sand. Two are doing well but my concord is growing very slow. Do you have a video on pruning? I'm not trying to get wine, just like to have some grapes to eat 😁 and they look nice. Thanks.
Easy as ,you take cutting in winter from the canes put them in some sandy soil or just straight sand in a pot , water occasionally and in spring they will start to grow but wait till they get roots sufficient to put in pots , that simple.
Goals!! I'm trying to accomplish this on a back deck gazebo frame as the canvas top ripped and they don't make replacement for it. I might have to fill some of the gaps with wire but now I know I won't need to worry about it for another 5+ years 😳 Gardening truly does teach patience. I'm on my 3rd Spring but the squirrels and birds beat me to them this year netting for sure. How do yours not all dissappear?
This was mostly one vine, yes! I'm not sure what black rot is, but I've found I need to leave at least two feet between vines when pruning, to be sure there is enough air flow and sunshine.
Wow what a dream. !!!! This is exactly what I would love to have. Was thinking about picking up about 3 grape vines FRM my local store and planting them in a planters box my hubby is building on the side of our deck and build a trellis type thing overhead to let the grape start growing up and over like yours.... Is this a good idea, ??? or should they be planted in the ground. If so,I'll have to rethink everything lol
This is legit. Planting grapes - how long did it take for your vines to get as long and full as yours are? Did your grapes cling to your arbor on their own or did you attach them periodically? Sorry for all the questions but I’m a grape virgin.
It took several years to get the grapes this big. Probably around 5 years. Grapes cling to the arbor all on their own. You may have to help them sometimes, but not much.
Hello again! I realize that you send grape cuttings in the winter, and now it's the beginning of spring. Is it too late to contact you and purchase a grape cutting?
Hi.. Beautiful grapes fruits. How do you keep these ripen grapes save from the birds without covering. Mine after turning ripen the birds have party free fruits before me.
A bit late to the party! Curious as to how one might deal with outdoor critters disturbing the structure - e.g. - squirrels, birds, raccoon et al? Also: I am seriously thinking about making it a sitting area. But am wondering if it’s conducive due to falling grapes and precipitation/rain water falling through it! A response would be welcome 😃
Me too Tristanrl1940 re: the sitting area, (and late to the game.) What is the thought on sitting under the arbor, anyone? It would be a nice view and give some great shade. Falling grapes and moisture I hadn't thought about. But I do need the arbor first! Thanks for the inspiration 1/4 acre!
It's nice to bring a book, or tea, or have a nice dinner. Other than that, the area should be left empty, as in spring there are falling flowers, and grapes in autumn, and the falling leaves in winter until you trim it.
Would anyone else be concerned about pressure-treated wood chemicals getting on or into our vines & fruit? Wondering if metal pipes would be less toxic. Thoughts??
Thank you! I just realized I made a mistake. The email is design@farnellweb.com. So I didn't get the payment you sent. Would you mind canceling that payment and sending again? So sorry! If it doesn't work out, it was my mistake so I will send cuttings anyway. So sorry again!
I am so glad I found you! I am creating a food forest in my backyard and am brand new to it all. I am interested in a cutting and have seen the patreon link you provided. Two questions: 1.) Would the grapes make a huge mess on a deck below? I have a pergola over my deck and want to grow the grapes there. 2) I read that I can plant apple trees, etc. in the spring or fall. You shared that you send the cuttings only in the winter. Could grape cuttings be planted in the fall?
That is awesome! No, grapes won't make a huge mess below as long as you pick the grapes. They will shed quite a few leaves, but those are easily swept or blown off. For your second question, yes, fruit tress work best to plant in fall. But rooting grape cuttings is best done in spring. See more at this link: grapes.extension.org/when-is-the-best-time-to-take-cuttings-to-propagate-a-grape-vine-and-what-is-the-correct-propagation-procedure/
I would absolutely make wine out of these , I have grapes that look just like these in Australia but I don’t know if they are concords or not , I was given some one but the person who gave them to me didn’t know what they were , not very helpful was he. I think these would make a nice red how ever if sugar is a bit low just add some to boost the alcohol content up , I wonder if anyone has made wine from these , interesting. Lovely arbor btw.👍

Can you ship for me some vines to Kenya. I have loved those grapes and would love to start a place like that too .
Not out of the US, sorry!

One vine?! I had no idea they could get that expansive! Do you find that the arbor helps protect against black rot?

I think the ground will be much better, as they have a big, big root system!
@@TheQuarterAcreHomestead ohhh I didn't even realize that. So the planters will deff not work then !!! Thnx for the response !
So u can just put the other end of the vine in the ground and it will root?
Yes!
Yes!
replace that screw with a nail, screws snap under pressure while nails will just bend while still holding.
Nice dude, This looks cool to hang out under.
Can the grapes frow grom pots? I have a pergola but no dirt around it... All gravel and rocks
I’m not sure…..you could try it! I think grapes like lots of area for their roots, though.
Nice
Great video. Do you run the vines along the wires in the same direction or perpendicular?
I run last year's vine one way, and then all the new shoots go parallel to that one. Does that answer your question?

Are they slip skin type of grape ? Wondering how you know they aren't concord?.
Hi..
Beautiful grapes fruits.
How do you keep these ripen grapes save from the birds without covering.
Mine after turning ripen the birds have party free fruits before me.
I don't know why, but we don't have much problem with birds.
@@TheQuarterAcreHomestead you are soo sooooo lucky.
That looks like way more grapes than i could even give away. They are pretty i guess any grape variety could be trained over an arbor.
very nice sir, i wish i could have a cuttings..
are they seedless? Mine have seeds and has many black rot, I don't know how to remedy that.
No seeds, but a lot of mine are moldy this year. I think it's because I didn't prune enough and so the are too shaded.
Man good job dude you going to make some jelly huh awesome
lovely video.. great information.. can you send some cuttings to Nigeria?

so, about doing this on a rooftop, so it doesn’t blow away…?
How does he protect grapes from deer?
Would anyone else be concerned about pressure-treated wood chemicals getting on or into our vines & fruit? Wondering if metal pipes would be less toxic. Thoughts??
I do think about that. Try not to use it too often.
are the raisins tasty ? thanks for this video
We haven't tried making raisins yet!
I bet its Thombcord. A seedless cross between Thompson seedless and concord. Taste like concord but more sweet and no seeds.
Could be!
