Let’s talk about shade. Who wouldn’t enjoy a relaxing siesta under grape vines? That’s right, grape vines. They’re fairly easy to grow & you not only get the shade from the hot sun, you get a yummy treat too. They grow quickly & with the right care, they will thrive & surprise you with their beauty. No kidding, once they start growing, you will see amazing growth every single day.
There are several different varieties of grapes. You should not only check out what is available in your area, but also find out what type would thrive in you area. Just because a certain type is available, it doesn’t mean it will grow well. Most local plant nurseries will answer your questions & help you figure out which type or types are right for you. We have a couple of different varieties growing together on our backyard trellis.
Try making preserves. If you do it correctly, it’s delicious. If you grow enough, you can even make homemade grape juice.
Currants are another idea for trellises. They are not as big, but they are pretty & edible too. You can pick them & then dry & crush them to use in recipes.
