The wild grapes in this area are coming on strong. The vines are looking good and healthy with extremely vigorous growth. LOTS of baby grapes are on the vines. The native Texas grapes are horrible to eat. However they make excellent jellies and wines.
These little devils will be ready for picking in a few months. That is a sticky nasty job with wonderful rewards afterwards.Several wildflower pictures have been taken over the last few days. Tonight they all come out of hiding for your pleasure. These were all taken in the Rockport area.
Taking wildflower pictures is a pretty good way of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
About those Texas Mustang grapes. Back in 1957 Daddy took all of us 4 boys and mother and we went to a friends farm and picked grapes for like two solid days.
ReplyDeleteThen we started making Grape Jelly. I won't even attempt the details, but it is still a joke in our family after putting up 54 quarts of Grape Jelly, when someone ask what's for desert, We always ask "How bout some Toast and Jelly? "
