As the sweet lazy days of summer are running out, I woke up remembering that I wanted to take the kids to go pick some grapes. Our part of Florida is host to many varieties of grapes which are grown here. I called the vineyard and they were closed but when I mentioned 8 kids who wanted to pick grapes, they opened it just for us so we got to go and pick all by ourselves… it was wonderful.
Mostly variations of muscadine grapes, huge, plump, pop out of their skins juicy grapes awaited us.
she definitely ate more grapes than she put in her bucket
and I am happy to report, I figured out where all the missing bees have gone, they have all come to this vineyard to sip some grape juice. We were warned about the bees. We did see them everywhere but they never bothered us.
$2 a pound and grown organically, local and not too expensive!! We were eating them right off the vine.
What a great idea! How much did the vinyard charge per pound of grapes? Are they organic? Can't wait for the jelly tutorial!
