How much do you know about wild grapes? I've never seen them as bountiful as they are this year. They've taken over my upper field. Pounds and pounds of grapes.

Nice day to get a couple trees down before the heat moves in.

Not much, but my special named varieties got nailed with black rot this year. I either need to start spraying or go back to more disease resistant ones like Concord.

There was some in a neighbors yard growing up, being a kid we tried them, they were awful and have seeds. Not sure if they were the same variety you have though they look similar.

[dendrite]

I figured most of the wild ones are concord type grapes with seeds. Do they ripen dark purple to almost black?

Dews back to 70. Love to see it.

they taste like shit, and the vines will choke out any trees that they climb. Nuke ‘em.

A few years back…5-7 or so? They were growing so much in one part of my neighborhood.  As they ripened they smelled amazing.  Then they started to rot or ferment.  Smelled like the cheapest Boone’s Farm stuff from back in the day.

I have acres of them I can't nuke them. Take me forever.

Yeah they rot really quickly. Agree with the smell. People do pick them off of my front wall so they must find something to do with them.

With little to no rain today for many . and the next 10+ days looking mainly dry .. will hope some storms appear on modeling with the front on Friday . Otherwise we will have to hope that cane near the Bahamas next week can make a run up at us.

Yeah there's some variety of Concord. Could even have been cultivated at one time it was an old farm. I remember eating them as a kid . lots of seeds

That's all ya got? Couple degrees above normal in 16 days. Hopefully you will have recovered from your surgery and will be back trolling the internet by that time.

I give credit for posting multi-day means.

The solo hour snapshots out that far are wild.

let me know when you can read a map 

and the back surgery was for the Ginx's "back-broken" comments earlier.  clearly summers back is 110% fully healed by the end of the first week of Aug
