Time for the grape harvest ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿ‡. Planning to turn the grapes in to raisins.

Bunches of green grapes in a bag after picking. Bunches of green grapes hanging from the vine with lots of green vine leaves.

My mom had a small arbor of concord grapes but she didn't know what to do with them, so a friend of hers came and gathered the lot of them, took them home and made the most delicious jelly. Mom only asked for a few jars for herself and let her friend keep all the rest.

Fantastic. I havenโ€™t really done anything with them in the past as the harvests have been small, this year is really good and the grapes are sweet. ๐ŸŒฑ

Our neighbor has multiple types of grapes and they stray over our fence. We plan on making jelly when they're ready and dropping some off with said neighbor!

So beautiful! Our grapes are going absolutely wild this year but I think Iโ€™ve still got a couple more weeks to wait before harvest!! Canโ€™t wait!

Thank you. I was terrified that the birds would take an interest before my harvest ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. ๐ŸŒฑ

Thankfully my local birds have not discovered that the grapes grow on vines, they donโ€™t just spontaneously appear overripe on the ground ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Raisins in a plastic food box. Grapes in a fruit dryer partly dried. Fresh green grapes after washing, in a plastic container ready for drying.

What's in a name? @starrider2120.bsky.social

That sounds like a plan. Can you do that with any grape type?
