thinking about putting one or the other in the front yard. i like the look of trellised grape vines, but i think the berries are more practical, because i can freeze them and use them in smoothies all year. even though i love table grapes, they are only good in season.
also going to plant 7 peach trees, which will give me more fruit and a spring bloom.
also dad is wanting to put in some vines on his property. so really i can have the best of both worlds, i guess it’s an easy decision then. will probably go with the berry bushes then.
no i’ve never tried grape leaves. i hear they are good though, will have to try that sometime.
i thought about doing both, but i don’t have a ton of space. i can probably plant 40 berry bushes though or maybe a little more.
the other thing is my front yard is flat, not the traditional rolling land, you often see grapes grown on, even though it is well drained.
dad’s backyard though has a slope, so maybe i will put some in back there, he gave me the go ahead. he likes the idea, but i don’t think he wants the extra work and wants me to care for them. im not sure i want the extra work either.
then i would grow salad greens, herbs, onions, peppers, and tomatoes in the side yard in my current veggie garden.
i also thought about expanding my garden to the front and growing sweet corn, more tomatoes, and potatoes. but i will just buy those from the store and do some kind of fruit in the front.
