Default Grape advice requested

I'm not an expert here, but you might have to prune the vines this fall and
wait for grapes next season.

Although, there are some grapevines in the woods near where I grew up.
They were planted there by a barn years ago. The barn foundation is all
that is left and there are trees growing in it. I'm guessing the barn has
been gone for 50 yrs. Now the grapevines are spread through-out all the
treetops and all over the ground, and there are still huge clusters of (I
think Concords) all over. These grapevines haven't been tended in at least
26 yrs that I know of.

So you might also be having bad season, maybe they will come back next year
on their own.

We moved into a house (three years ago, May) that has some grape plants
and while we get great vines and the young leaves are tender & delicious
when stuffed, we haven't seen one grape. Our neighbors told us that she
remembered that the vines did yield grapes in past years.

It isn't as though we get grapes & birds/animals eat them, or we lose
them to some disease, we don't even see any baby grapes!

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions why this is happening and what
I should do to get a grape or two?
