First Veraison!

I went on vacation for over a week and came back to veraison! Half of the grapes are still green, while the other half are various shades of purple.







The above three photos are the grapes undergoing veraison. It will still be a while until they are ready to be harvested.



The above picture is my new first year Concord. The picture is misleading because the larger vine next to it is vigorously growing into it. All of the growth on the wire is the other older vine, while the skinny vine growing up the pole is the actual first year vine. It has acceptable growth this first year.



All of the leaves you can see in this one is the seedless concord. It grew tremendously this first year. I can only expect the roots are even larger! It has reached the top wire and is starting to grow to the right already quite a bit. Very impressive! There is still time this summer for the vines to grow, so I can expect quite a bit more growth on the new vines until this fall.
