We got grapes!!! ...Well we have grape vines


We started out with a standard raised bed 24 feet long and 24" wide. I bought 6' tee posts to support the grape vines but thought they were pretty industrial after we had driven them into the ground. I had recently trimmed a big pine tree at the rear of the lot so I dug out the branches and tried to get some of the ugly off of those t posts.

I cut the limbs 4 feet long and tied them to the t posts with sisal twine. Next I tied the horizontals up to allow the grapes something to grow on.
And this is what we wound up with. I planted 9 cabages and 6 cucumbers between the grapes as I don't suspect we will be getting any grapes this year but there is no sense in wasting the space in between.
