Ripening Grapes !

This photo was taken Aug 23 2006 showing my hops and grapes. The first colours of ripening are appearing in my Merlot grapes !

Notice the "greening up" of my Golden hops again !

This is an old grape plant, but I have only tended to it for two years. Last year the yield of fruit was not disappointing, but this season it has grape bunches that are at least twice the size as the ones I got last year !.. This doubling of fruit size and the abundance of bunches has me estimating about 200 pounds of grapes are going to be picked off this one plant!
