Our grapes this year and our apples

They aren't quite ready, but they are turning out pretty nicely. I'm still learning about things, but this year they are slightly larger and less sour. This picture was taken a few weeks ago, so they have gotten a little larger. I am not sure if I will bother juicing them this year because I'm not sure how to preserve them properly, and right now I am just enjoying eating them from the vine itself. So either way, they are not being wasted. On the other side, our main apple tree did not produce any apples this year, but a couple of other ones are. Looking at the rising price of fruit (and everything else), on principle alone I'm trying to utilize our property as much as possible. The tomatos, aside from earlier buying the wrong kind of plant, have turned out nicely this year when I finally bought the right kind. I still have no clue what I am doing though.

You should try to do a bottle of vino with the grapes! And use it for mass

By coincidence, I just got back in the house from checking my grape vine and was pleased to see them beginning to ripen! I sampled a few and they are good this year. The weather must have been good for them because I didn't do anything different. I intend to make juice then grape candy from them if I get enough. Tomatoes were a bust this year. I didn't put out much of a garden so I was disappointed in the tomatoes. Part was the weather and part was an experimental container garden that didn't do as well as I had hoped.
