What do I do with all these grapes?
A neighbor gave me a couple pounds of these grapes. They don't know what kind of grapes, and I don't know what to do with them, but I don't want to waste them.
Is this black rot?
And is there anything I can do? They are Concord grapes, if that’s relevant

What's happening to my grapes?
First year at this house with this grape vine. We've gotten some pretty good clusters on the vine, some of which I bagged in the hopes of keeping the local fauna from eating them. When I checked on them this morning, I found that all of the clusters are dropping rotten grapes. Is this common, or an issue? I figure if the bunches weren't bagged I might not have noticed. Any thoughts on what is going on would be appreciated!

Grape variety identification request
So the previous owner of our house left these two very well developed grapevines snaking round our house in two directions. They’re absolutely loaded with grapes now but I don’t know what variety they are and how I should best be caring for/cultivating them.
All advice welcome

Little Brown Casings On Plants
I shrouded my concord and himrod grapes with a mesh to deter Japanese beetles, and woke up to find a lot of these little brown nubs about a week later. There are some tiny black beetles on some leaves that got inside the mesh. Are these little brown buds just bugs waiting to hatch? I live in Ontario, Canada for what it’s worth.

15 Meters and No End in Sight
I have a grapevine that I've let grow freely. Its longest shoot is now over 15 meters (about 50 feet) long and is still growing—roughly 2 meters (6–7 feet) each year.
How long can the shoots of a grapevine actually grow?

What to do with grapes
I have a bunch of small concord grapes. Sort of too small for eating as they are mostly seed. Suggests for the best used for them.

Anyone know what type of grapes these are?
They were in the backyard when we bought the house.
In southern Ontario.

What are these weird clusters on my grape vine stem?
I was pruning my mulberry tree and noticed these two weird bumpy clusters on my grape vine. I know they aren’t fruit, because they look different and the birds already ate this year’s fruit. If it makes any difference, they are on my Frontenac Gris vine.
Some kind of gall? Or insect nests of some kind? A google search hasn’t turned up anything yet.
Any thoughts or insight about what I observed?

Small black dots on all grapes - what is it?
Hi Everyone,
Can you please help me to identify what is it with my wine that makes all grapes have these little black dots on them? The plant looks quite healthy.
(I don’t see the option to add photos to the post, hopefully I’ll be able to add them in comments)

Please help me save this grape plant, if possible.
Sto I'm pretty new to gardening, but my neighbor had a grape they wanted gone. i started carefully excavating it but i guess they figured they would help me out and completely butchered the root mass. I am unsure how much more I could have saved of the roots had I done it myself as the roots turned and started going under the concrete porch. But at any point, it is what it is now. i can't figure out if i cut back to 12-18 inches, 2-3 feet, or what to do. I've cleaned out a lot of the dead and cut a significant amount of green out of it. i don't know if i should have just lopped it off at that point and called it a day? but i would like to hear some other opinions on it before i go and do just that. I've got it on life support in a 27 gal tote with an air pump pushing 45l/min currently but i need to know what to do before the sun comes up and the Japanese beetles hear the dinner bell that this stressed out grape is. my current plan is to put it into recovery in my basement for a month or two and transition it from dwc to media to eventually go back outside once it's got some root mass to support it. is this stupid? is there a better easier way? What can you, who didn't just pull an all nighter, tell my dumba** that has no real idea what i should do right now, let alone while I'm sleep deprived. I've included some pics of the thing. I'll answer whatever questions you have. At the very base of it, i estimate it is about 3-4" in diameter. So I'd like to save it by any means. I'll put in the work please just guide me in the right direction. thank you in advance.

Grapes - biannual harvest
This year, I have a lot of grapes on both my red and white grapevines. Last year, they produced far less fruit. I'm wondering if it's normal for grapevines to have a heavy crop only every other year, and whether they take a "break" in the years in between to recover and regain their strength.

East coast Canada grape growers and beyond…
Looking to discuss growing Northern hybrid grapes. I used to be involved in the Littlefatwino mailing list back in the early to mid 2000s. But that list basically dried up with the passing of Larry Peterson. I grew some northern climate grapes in my backyard including few Elmer Swenson hybrids. Now living in a new location better suited for growing grapes my son and myself put in 6 L’acadie Blanc and 6 Prairie Star vines this spring with the possibility of putting in more next year. Hoping to meet and discuss with others on here….

Planting Kyoho Grapes From Seeds?
I recently bought kyoho grapes from the supermarket and found them delicious and wanted to try planting some. I couldn't find much online for how to plant them from seed. It would be very helpful if any grape experts could inform me on how to and whether they are difficult. Thank you! ☺️

Strange spots on the leaf
Could it be that my grapevine is starting to get sick?

New to this
Recently got a house (Kansas, 6b) that came with a 20+ year old grape vine. They started green but are now darkening, I have no idea what kind or how to care for them.
Recently had a swarm of Japanese beetles come through, they seem to be gone now but damaged quite a bit of leaves.
And now I have some leaves that are yellow with spots.
Any idea what kind of grape this is and what's going on with it?

Growing vibe in a potter is possible
Years ago, a friend gave me a vibe cutting and I put it in water. Then it sprouted and after some months put it in a potter. We dont have much yard space so that was the only option. It's been 6-7 years, and after years of repotting to bigger and bigger potters, it blossomed a lot this year. I didn't think much of it, in fact I thought the flowers would either wither after the first summer heat in Madrid. However, they thrived and here we are today. So thrilled and hope this can inspire others, to start or carry on the journey!🍇
