Grapes in the tropics!


I bought three small grape vines back in October 2017 and frankly my expectations were pretty low.


Of course I planted them anyway and kept an eye on them (and kept watering them regularly too).


They grew super-fast, which was only half a surprise, considering almost everything grows fast here given regular water. The huge surprise was that it started showing promises of fruit. A lot of fruit.


It seems to need to hide somewhat under the leaves, or maybe I'm wrong? I really don't know how to care for grape vines in the tropics. Someone told me they would give small, but tasty fruits. I can't wait.


Isn't it the prettiest thing you've ever seen?



The vines have reached the roof. And then some. Actually they are starting on the cables stabilising the antenna on the roof. I'll have to do something about it, soon.



Now which variety is it? I don't have a clue. I don't really care at this point. I just hope it'll mature nicely and be tasty. 


A word to the wise: please contact me if you want to use any of the materials published on this blog. It's the polite thing to do, and it's the law. Thank you!
