I’ve six grape vines, four of which unknown variety which i
bought in Cameron highland and the other 2 are Muscat Hamburg and Alphonse
Lavelle. The vines were neglected until i hard prune it in early may because it
blocks the sunray from my potted plant.
One of the vines started fruiting at the end of May and ripens just a
few days before Eid ul Fitri celebration. Since i never fertilized my grape vines
the fruit is smaller than supermarket bought grapes. Every evening my daughter
and i will pluck up a few grapes off the vines and pop it in to her mouth. The grapes were very sweet. Our activity lasted for a week until my niece
who returns home discovers it! Three weeks ago i hard pruned the vines again. Two of the vines are setting fruit while the
rest are showing green bud. Each of those buds will produce several shoots that
grow leaves and flowers. This time i fertilize my vines.
