Carol, what do you do with all of them? Do you ever make raisins? ( I have no idea how one does that...)
Something about "California sunshine" but after that I'm not sure....

Jared we have not had enough of these before for anything other than eating fresh (what the birds did not beat us to!) They are a pale colored grape. Not one I would use for Jellies. I was hoping the concord would do as well. But are still small and not enough to mess with. DH has made wine in the past with crab apples! Maybe he will have to try with these grapes.Are they good to eat or just a wine grape? I've been thinking of doing grapes one of these days and this is encouraging. How are they as a jelly grape?
Good to know~!Do you know how easy grapes are to propagate? One year I gathered all the prunings, cut the top at an angle and the bottom straight, wrapped them in damp newspaper in an open plastic bag and left them in the refrigerator. The next spring I sent handfuls of each variety out to trading buddies. According to the recipients, every cutting rooted and grew -- instant vineyards.
Hey Jared, I just like the dark concord grape Jelly. No reason why I could not make a pink grape jelly! I just may have to especially if DH is not interested in making wine. I think they taste a bit lighter and sweeter than the concord. A thinner skin, too.Were they good fresh? And why not for jelly? I'm not trying to argue just curious on your reasons why. I have zero grape growing experience but have been wanting to make wine & enjoy fresh. Jelly is just bonus.
Now that @Smart Red showed us how easy it is I may have to save some of the next trimming to share.Thank you Carol I appreciate the info. If you ever need to relocate some cutting keep me in mind please!
