Very nice Bob, I also have a question since you grow your own.
What time of the year are you supposed to prune down the vines?

While I was out shooting the Passion Flower, I noticed that my grapes
were also coming along pretty nicely.
Almost ready for the table.

My wife does the pruning. But she generally prunes heavily around
Dec.-Jan., when the plant is supposed to be dormant.
We have been told that grapes are produced on 1-year old wood so all the
old stuff gets pruned back pretty hard.
I suspect there is a real science to doing it right but we have not
taken the time to master all the huances.
