One of these years I am going to make vino. I have a grape vine of concord grapes. It is 24 years old. Each year it produces grapes. But I can count
on one hand the number of years it has produced edible grapes. Most of those years were many moons ago. The last several years, the grapes shrivel
before they ripen. This year, I have been keeping the vines pruned back. Not letting too much vine grow, especially after the last bunch of grapes
on it. Today I noticed black spots on the stems. I'm not sure that this is a problem. Then again, I'm not sure it isn't. I don't want to use
chemicals on the vines. Is anyone familiar with growing grapes?
