Grapes

Trust_2

Hi

Bought a couple of vines a couple of years ago, you know the ones you walk into the shop they are about three ft high and there is a bunch of grapes growing on it, planted them into bigger pots always plenty of leaves but the grapes if you can call them that are bunched with what I can call grapes the size of pips

What am I doing wrong,

I watched a program about a year ago and to get them to grow you need spot on conditions and that is very hard I saw. Not sure but tomato feed them every week, this will make more flowers, might be a bit late this year, but try next year.

Thanks Bill,

Will try the tomato feed, it is just strange they must as you said have ideal conditions and force the crop through, just wish I could unlock this one as there are lots of bunches on the vines, but saying that I have the same problem with olives plenty of tiny but never come to much!

Are they indoors or out?

You will also have to thin out the forming grapes on the bunches, they just do not produce bunches in this climate like you buy from shops

Do you know what variety they are? Think depends on that as to what conditions they need. We inherited a huge Black Hamberg in the greenhouse of the place we just bought and it's covered in huge bunches of good sized grapes now. They seem to swell by the day at the moment with all this sunny weather in the South. Every time I walk in I hit my head on them all hanging down!
