We have always collected wild Concord grapes in mid September from a few public land areas for jelly and jam. 4 years ago my wife and I decided to plant some cultivated Concord vines and got nothing for 3 seasons. Last year she read about how to prune them properly and wow! We have a hell of a crop. They are turning color now......which means it's getting to be signs of my favorite time of year.......harvesting time....small game hunting time......I can't wait for the weather change and to get into the woods.
Collecting wild grapes was always a good time but we though it would be good to plant some vines on the fence line on our own property and watching them form and ripen every day has been rewarding.
