One of the things that I always found to be beautiful when I was young was to see a trellis covered with clusters of grapes hanging from the vines. Not only did the vines have a function but they brought beauty as well. I always found backyard grape growing to be fun even as a child and I would like to share with you some of my experiences.

Grape growing is actually something that is not too hard to do. For thousands of years people have been growing grapes and perfecting the art of pruning and caring for them. Now there are many modern twists to make it even easier. We don’t have to haul water from a creek that is a mile away and we don’t have to keep the soil nice with a hoe in the bright summer sun.

The art of grape growing is one that should be showed to our younger generation so that they realize that not all produce has to come from a grocery store. They can grow them right in their own backyard and be overjoyed when they see the first clusters begin to form on the vines. So often the younger generations have no idea where things really come from and grape growing would be a wonderful way to show them.

Several years ago before hydroponics became popular, I was in a grocery store that had a bubbler hydroponic grow that was producing their tomatoes for sale. This was quite a huge store so it was pretty impressive. I remember, getting up on my tip toes to see what I could find. I was really surprise to see no soil and then I was trying to figure how this was done. I am sure they didn’t use a cheap hydroponic pump but state of the art hydroponic system. I went away very impressed and wondering if I could do it also.
