Growing from Seed

Grapes are not typically grown from seed.

Planting Considerations

Grape vines should be purchased from a local nursery. Before transplanting, soak the roots in water for a few hours. Water the soil around the grape vine once transplanted. Grape plants require some type of trellis to support them as they grow. Pruning is necessary for your grape plants to be successful.

Feeding

Do not fertilize your soil the first year of planting grapes. Lightly fertilize the second year, after the plants have been established.

Harvesting

Pick fully mature grapes. Grapes do not continue to ripen after being picked.

Storage

Grapes can be eaten immediately, frozen, or made into jams, jellies, or wine.
