grape variety

piegirl · August 30, 2011

Our neighborhood school has an organic garden project with quite collection of grape vines. One variety is a white that tastes just like the concord. My parents grew himrod (sp) which is more spicey. Couldn't find anything that fit the description in my catalogues. I am going back and pick more since the school is undergoing construction and these beautiful vines are all that are left of a beautiful school project and just going to waste. Don't think I can get to the backside of the fence (the really big clusters of course) but should be able to harvest 10-15 pounds.

Niagara is known as the white Concord grape.

Well my white grapes produced 6 1/2 qts of unfiltered organic white grape juice. Boy does it taste great. Now I wish I could somehow rescue the vines - they are lovely and growing in crushed rock and probably clay and apparently produce huge crops. Piegirl
