Thanks for your advice on Melons. I've just harvested my first melon - a golf ball sized Charentais, which is a huge success in my book! I grew it in a pot in a suntrap in the garden in London, without a poly/greenhouse, and only sowed in late May. Will try again next year with an earlier sowing date, and maybe some Emir F1 for the English climate.

Hi Dwight.

Yes here in North Dakota there are actually several vineyards in zone 4, some almost in zone 3. I have been out here over a year now and have discovered my microclimates so next year I'm going to give it a try. The problem is not only zone 4 but the constant drying wind. Some wind is good to keep out the fungus and slugs but to much rips the large leaves apart. Also with the heavy clay soil we have I have been endlessly adding organic matter. I have the winter to research but there is one called Edelweiss that I may give a try. -( A very hardy white grape, it produces yellow to green fruit that makes good sweet wine and is excellent eaten fresh.) Ironically back in Rhode Island the old Concord is invasive in many areas scrambling up 100 foot trees and smothering out some.

From Edmonton Canada, where our winters hit -30 C, sometimes colder. I have a Frontenac Grape, four years old producing Concord like grapes, smallish, but tasty. My grape is at least 20 feet in length, in part because I don’t know how to prune it, in part because it’s providing wonderful shade and privacy. M

I may look into that variety. Thanks.

Those are great bunches of grapes, I would say that your pollination is better than mine at this point. My Boskoop Glory is on its second summer - it has taken over a length of the garden and is wildly out of control, despite a sneaky prune from me some weeks ago. I have a number of bunches and the grapes are beautiful. but given its age, the bunches are smaller than yours. I thinned out some 'grapelets' early on and have been removing some of the loose bark. I have it trained espalier style to washing line, threaded through vine eyes - against an open fence. My vine is exposed to some of the most brutal weather extremes that the UK weather can throw at it, but it is happy. It is planted at circa 730' above sea level, my previous vine (colossal) was at circa 850'. It is worth trying grapes, even if people do not live in the 'ideal' location, there may be that ideal micro-climate in a garden that is just perfect. If grapes are happy, they are rampant and take some control. I have three vines outdoors, all survived as young plants, before putting on serious growth in the following year. I think they take the first year to sort their roots out. Ideally My vines would be in the front garden, but neighbours would be concerned if the roots were close to the house, so they are in the more exposed and colder, back garden. Dan, your US viewers may like to read about/ try growing the famous 'Scuppernong'. Don't forget to let us know how the wine production goes with the surplus - hardly anybody makes that here now, it used to be so popular. Thanks Dan.

I'm in Canada (zone 3) I'm trying Valiant Grapes this year. I have never grown grapes so glad I found you! You have a new subscriber!!! I did research and many others in my province have grown these successfully. Some take the vines down and cover during for the winter and others don't I guess it depends how big they get. I'm going to put them in a cloth pot this year they are hardy to 2B. They are only one foot tall this year. I bought 2 extra just incase they don't survive. I'm need time to build a good trellis and not sure what I wan't yet so just keeping it simple this year. What do you think of growing grapes in cloth grow bags?

Welcome. You could try it but make sure they are big bags and also as grapes are a long term thing the cloth bags will deteriorate in time and need replacing.

South Louisiana here (VERY south... like less than 20 miles from the Gulf of Mexico south). I've taken an interest in trying to grow grapes because I have a rescue possum who is crazy for grapes. Interestingly enough, it turns out that most possums are crazy about grapes when they discover them. What's a good large seedless table grape for where I'm at? Anything OTHER than muscadines. Those grow wild here and definitely not what I'm looking for. They're good, but at least the ones here are too thick skinned and not sweet enough.
