About it and About

In our back yard my wife and I attempt to grow a wine grape vine. We believe it is Merlot but it has been a few years In since she brought it home from a local hardware store and we don’t remember. When she first bought it we lived in a house where the climate was cool and moderate, influenced by the nearby ocean. We also did not provide proper elbow room for the vine and it grew in peculiar ways.
We have moved to a climate more conducive to the vine’s nature and it is responding well. And we have a nice wire trellis in the sun for the vine to stretch its arms and discard bad habits.
Many tiny grape clusters have appeared and we will soon face the necessity of thinning the clusters to further the development of fine grapes. In our experience we may find ourselves with some gorgeous clusters and some smaller ones, equally as tasty.
