Care of grapevines
« on: 30 October, 2009, 04:38:27 pm »
Have very productive grapevines in the garden - is it best to remove the grapes (there are a lot on there, still, some of which are clearly decaying) or can they be left to nature without harm to next year's growth?

We were treated to home-made grape juice, made from home-grown grapes at a concert a fortnight ago. It was lovely. I'm not sure where in the Home Counties rhe grapes had grown.

I took off a lot of well-past-it grapes today and did a general tidy up. From my internet perusals it seems that early next year is the time for the pruning proper.

Looks like I'm going to have a bumper crop this year  ;D
Just need some sunshine between now and the end of September  ???

Anyone have any advice on making your own wine ?
Where to buy a kit / any recommendations as to what equipment can be used for brewing ( is that the correct term ! )
