any home gardeners in this place? we are on year 3 of the garden (8'x8'). our soil looks great this year (we started on mostly clay). got a handful of herbs planted, the rest is still incubating under the guest room window. we plant the usual.. tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, some random fruits/flowers. trying to step up my hot pepper game this year, also going to venture into planting hops (plan on home brewing at some point).apologies in advance to all my "hood" dwellers, for this rural nonsense.

    have you done grapes in the past? ive always been interested but they appear to be complex to care for.

    Concords are pretty hardy once they're established.

    My friend has some, though, and her cat won't stop eating the vines even though it makes him sick.

    the concords jus need sun, you train them onto a trelace, prune them back considerably at the end of winter, and enjoy the bounty.
