Grapes!

A couple of years ago, the neighbor to my east planted grapes along the fence. The plant is provides a bit privacy and is nice, healthy and attractive.

I like to plant as many food-producing plants as possible - decorative plants are rather useless to me, unless they feed bees, hummingbirds or provide nesting habitat.

It's mid-September so the grapes are ready, or I should say almost ready - some of them are still pretty tart! Each grape in the bunch is a surprise - some are bursts of sweetness; a few are so tart that you involuntarily make the universal tart-reaction face.
