Growing Grapes

So we have been working on getting the grape Arbor up and getting the grapes in the ground.  First we had to cut down 2 large Junipers on the side of the house that were on the downhill slide.  Once that was done we started working on getting the bows cut off to use for mulch for grapes and blue berry bushes.  This past Sunday we went and purchased the 4x4s and cement mix for the arbor.  DH dug the holes and got the post set just after lunch time and then we went out later in the afternoon and  planted the 3 grape plants that we purchased almost a month ago that have been hiding in our greenhouse.  The cool thing is that the plants already have small clusters of grapes on them.  This is good for us since DH told me the when he last bought grapes for kid’s lunches that it cost us over $6.  I can only hope with all that we are doing will help us because I see food cost just rising in the next year and with 4 little mouths to feed it will be crazy.
