This grape does indeed have a name and it is… Jumbo!Īs you can see, I’m not super inventive with my grape vine trellises, which is why I’m writing this post really – to find some really great grape vine trellis designs from around the web.

Full Sun, Self Pollinating, Ripens early.Heat-tolerant and ideally suited for southern gardens.Plants are fairly vigorous and are very productive.Medium sized, light red fruit, tastes sweet and crisp.I’ve planted Betel Leaf, Arrowroot, Lotodonis, and Water Spinach around the edge to soak up whatever comes out.Īlthough I can’t 100% remember the name of that grape, I think it’s this one: I also dug a trench so the water runs out freely. *Edit – I’ve fixed the floor since then! A couple of wheelbarrows of gravel and a border of river rocks has fixed the issue. The beautiful white chickens are definitely NOT white now. The girls have a big run that’s dry (well, it runs off well so it’s not soaking) but the hen house itself is so muddy. I need to fill their coop with some extra soil or gravel to build it up so that the water doesn’t sit in it. The chickens don’t look too impressed yet, but that could be because it’s the rainy season and everything is soaking wet.

If it does well enough, I’ll also train some of it over the chicken coop. You probably can’t see the grape itself very well, but it’s next to the ratty bit of shade cloth and it will grow up the metal fence. Not because it’s white but because the tag has a blank label where it should specify the name… It’s a red grape, that much I remember. This is grape vine #1, also known as Grape Blanc. So, only tough trellises made the cut today 😀īelow are a couple of photos of my (amazing, *grin*) grape trellises. Grapes can live for a really long time so I’d like to something that’ll last a really long time. I’m all for recycling and using existing materials, but a clothes rack for growing grapes on just won’t cut it for me. I’ve collected a few in this article for inspiration and to share them with you. But, I’ve always wanted a proper grape trellis, a nice sturdy, wooden one. So far, I’ve just used fences to train grapevines up. I’ve checked that all links are operational, and I’ve added a couple of great trellises and arbors! This article was updated in October, 2020. Grape vines can ramble a bit, so without a trellis to train them it can get hard to get them to grow where you want them to. Although they used to grow grapes without a trellis in the old days (and probably still do in many vineyards and gardens), I really prefer my grapes on a grape vine trellis (also know as a grape arbor), especially when they’re getting started.
