The only grapes in the village! by jamibann

The only grapes in the village!

Or so we're told. Not many people grow grapes in Scotland! Our greenhouse vine has been quite prolific, and we have picked over 13 kilos of grapes this year. I've made grape jelly by the gallon, and frozen lots for future grape jelly. We've eaten and continue to eat them fresh and we've given them away. Maybe wine next year?
Lovely shot (my brother makes wine with his grapes; he says he has to add a little sugar to make up for the lost temperature/sun that the Mediterranean area have in abundance )

They look delicious. We had a grape vine on our married quarter in Cyprus and we had one at our house in Melbourne too, none here though so we have to rely on the supermarket now.

They're beautiful, Issi! The light has caught them just right, making them almost glow. Congrats on your bountiful harvest.

These look fantastic - I'm very impressed! We tried - very unsuccessfully and not very hard - to grow grapes from the existing vines on allotment, but falied miserably. Great shot and excellent focus

I’m so impressed Issi....we buy lots of grapes, perhaps we should grow our own....we are getting a greenhouse. Love the POV you have here, it shows them off beautifully.

Love how you composed this shot. I bet that grape jelly is terrific!

Great pov and colours.

@tinley23 Actually they do. They're at their best right now. They're quite small, but very sweet and flavoursome.

@happypat The root of our vine is outside the greenhouse, and the trunk comes through the wall, so we don't ever need to water it! All the grapes are inside the greenhouse though. We cut it back severely in the winter and it just keeps on giving. It's a magnificent plant and gives us shade in the greenhouse as it can get too hot in there in summer!
