Wouldn’t you have done the same just to show people how good you are at growing vine grapes? But what are their secret to produce these high quality grapes that are so large and taste so great?

Well there are many things in the equation that decides the quality of the grapes. One deciding factor is the type of soil that the grape vine is planted in. Grape vines generally like poor soil that is well drained. Also, grape vines need a lot of sun and high temperature. Therefor you should plant the vines on slopes that are facing south. If you plant them on slopes or walls facing north then it would be a lot more difficult to produce grapes. But there is one thing that stands out more than anything else..

I’m about to share with you a secret when growing grapes that will help you to produce large amounts of tasty grapes year after year.

The number one factor that decides how much fruit you get and how tasty it’s going to be is the quality of your pruning.

If you know how to prune then you will also know how to get large and tasty grapes.

However, pruning is to some people very hard and it can be if you have no idea how to do it. Luckily I will tell you how to do it correctly.

Follow these step by step instructions and pruning won’t be a difficult task for you.

• You should only prune when the plant is in its dormant stage which occurs after the leaves drop. This is in the autumn and if you prune in this time then the plant won,t bleed and get damaged.  

• Heavy pruning will result in very high quality fruit, Very heavy pruning results in no fruit but a lot of vegetable growth. No pruning results in large amounts of low quality fruit or no fruit at all.  

• For wine you should leave 20 – 30 buds per grape vine. This will produce high quality grapes.  

• For juice and jelly you should leave 50 – 80 buds per vine. This will produce large amounts with medium quality fruit.  

• Cut back to the third bud each year. This might seem like a lot but the plant will grow back and it’s essential if you want to produce fruit year after year.  
• Canes that produced fruit this year wont produce fruit the next year so you have to cut those canes off.

Pruning is a lot more easier if you have the right training system. Here’s another great resource you should checkout when growing grapes, click that link to find out more.

How To Grow A Grape Vine From A Seed

Don’t you just love to eat grapes in a sunny afternoon. To me they always seem to taste the best when you are lying in the shade after working hard.

You can grow your own grapes starting with just seeds that comes from grapes that you buy in the supermarket. But just so you know.. Traditionally grape vines comes from cuttings and not from seeds. Cuttings are a part of a plant that is already known to produce grapes. This part is treated with growth hormones in order to develop roots and to start growing. Getting a fruit from grape vines that comes from seeds are a bit more difficult but it can be done if you follow the correct steps.

After you have read this article you will know how to grow grapes from seeds in 5 simple steps. It’s an easy process so lets get started.

1. The first step is to extract the grape seeds from the berry and it’s pretty easy. Just slice the berries in half and extract the seeds on a paper towel. Let the seeds air dry for about a day.
 
2. The second step is to expose the seeds for a low temperature treatment called “Stratification”. To do this: simply place your seeds on a wet paper towel, or peat moss in the refrigerator for about 60 – 90 days. The temperature should be around 1 – 2 degrees Celsius, or 35 – 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. After the stratification it’s time to plant the seeds in small seed pots. Use a special seed growing soil that is low on nutrients. This will allow the plant to grow faster and stronger. 1 seed per pot and don’t plant the seeds to deep. About 1 cm, or half an inch is fine. Place the seed pots warm. 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is required in order for the seeds to germinate. It should take about 1 – 2 weeks before the seeds have sprouted.

4. When the small sprouts have grown to about two inches (5 cm) then it’s time to replant them in a bigger pot. The bigger pot should have different soil which has more nutrition than the first soil.

5. You should let the plants grow indoors for about 12 months before you consider putting it outside. Under the 12-month period then be sure to water the plant and place it in warm temperature. If it grows big, then replant it to a bigger pot for more room.

When it’s time to plant the grape vine outside then I recommend you to get help because it’s very tricky and you have to get it exactly right. 1 mistake and you could be without grapes no matter how hard you try.
