On this episode I’m out in the garden preparing for and conducting my first pruning of a two-year-old muscadine hybrid grapevine. I give some backstory on why I began the garden, how it was constructed and arranged, and how I began growing grapes in my Central Florida backyard. Hopefully this is good practice for when I retire to own and operate a beautiful, sprawling vineyard. To spend my days in hours of deep, meditative care of my vines, before pulling corks that evening. In preparation I learn about spur vs. cane pruning styles, and that grapes are a tough and tenacious plant. Ever grow any grapes?  Thanks for downloading!
