So I had limited success with producing a viable grape crop this year. But I was able to produce raisins. I know that's not a super difficult accomplishment but an accomplishment none the less. I think I ended up watering the grapevine too much this year producing a crop that would split the grapes before getting fully ripened. I picked this small bundle of grapes and then let them dry in the sun.  These raisins didn't turn out half bad.  Had a few the other day..Still really juicy. Very cool to know it was that easy to make them.

Thanks to apple's new software update I am able to capture cool shots like this of my garden. This was shot using the panorama function on an iphone. This is my grapevine from the alley viewpoint.

I think it's about time to pick this guy. I have had more success this year with the crop of watermelons. I believe I chose a different type of melon this year and the vine itself has spread both north and south in the alley. I've pulled a few runts from the vine but this one looks to be a keeper. I have probably 3 more on the vine at varying stages of maturity. I'll try to takes some shots of it when I cut it up.
