Grapes

A favorite for the edible landscape, grape vines produce delicious fruits and their vines can enhance the landscape. When selecting grape vines to grow in the home garden, first determine if they will grow in your hardiness zone. Next, make sure your growing area has enough sunlight. Most grape vines prefer full sunlight (6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily) as well as an arbor or trellis for support. When selecting what grape varieties to buy, consider how you will use the fruits. Do you want to grow grapes for snacking or making into juice, jams or wine? Many people prefer seedless grapes with tender skins for eating.
