Grapes

The other day I walked out to the garden and realized that our grapes were now purple. I decided to try some to see if they were ready. They were the sweetest natural thing I have ever eaten. My husband being the city boy that he is has never had grapes right off the vine. While we were out checking the chickens that night, I asked him to come over to the grapes. I picked a bunch for him and said, "Here taste these." He took the first grape and said, "These are so sweet.", and then he ate a few more bunches. I have done that to a few other visitors since then. The grapes I grow are all organic with no sprays used on them. The county extension agent said that I would never to be able to grow seedless grapes here without spraying them. So far, I have not had too. I am hoping my good fortune continues. In the meantime, I am going to enjoy my pesticide and herbicide free purple grapes. The green grapes I planted do not seem too much further behind in ripening. I can't wait to taste them.
