Garden grape vine?
Hi, I have a grape vine also. the grape vine can be feed with a 'Miriclegrow' but to be honest i wouldnt bother,,my grapes are also small but normally over the next month they tend to have a growing spurt, if you over-water them they will split (you dont want that) just water as normal.i would leave them as what you describe is normal. just look forward to eating them at the end of next month
Reply:Hi Ron W. probably the best thing to feed is miracle grow you probably have a wild grape vine ,in which case it will produce fine quality fruit and very tasty for jelly or jam and wine or as a blend for wine making.i have a grape which i just picked (to beat the birds)and could ripen a little more ,its called a "bata grape" just a Little larger than a wild very good on flavor hope this helps. coop
Reply:The root of your vine should be outside and planted in poor soil with plenty of drainage aggregate. If you want good size grapes you should keep the number of bunches down and stop the vine making to much growth by stopping out the leaders. If you grapes are like black currents at this time of year , then they will not get much larger and will soon ripen.



Next year try to keep the number down by thinning out.
