I want to try grapes,but I doubt it would work in Carmel Valley climate…I think I’ll need to move to Santee for that 🙂 [/quote]
flu – I am in Bay Park and I’ve got Himrod grapes growing in a big bucket. It is bearing fruit (5 bunches). When I had my house in Carmel Valley, I transplanted my grape from my previous house (much warmer climate) and was able to grow my grape plant, but it did not bear fruit. But I did not really take proper care of the soil and fertilize it enough.
I think if you try the grapes and give it proper care, you can do it in Carmel Valley. Heck, even my Cabernet grape is growing. Just too young to bear any fruit.
