What a wonderful grapevine, it must be spectacular in autumn and winter as well. Your video and the information you provided were also wonderful, I had no idea grapes had so many benefits and possibilities and your photography is always so beautiful.
i’m delighted. my pleasure! we are just on the verge of a massive harvest, and all the rain in early summer yielded a mad crazy growth of leaves that have kept us cool in the heat. happy growing!
This is so inspiring! I watched because I enjoyed your duck video so much, and as we removed an old and crazily overgrown vineyard but the vines keep popping up like crazy. They do grow with literally no help at all! We are in Italy, so our summers are getting ridiculously hot, and my plan is now to build trellises over the walkways, with vines and a few other climbing plants giving us shade. But I had no idea that they were so popular as an animal fodder! Even more useful than I realised. Have you ever tried making vinegar from the grapes? I don't really drink much, so have no real interest in learning to make decent wine, but vinegar seems like a great use. And I've also been pondering on syrup... I need an alternative to maple syrup due to the food miles, and I've been thinking that grapes or maybe persimmon might be an option. I've also just planted a couple of jujubes which I hear are very sweet. Thanks!
shade and fodder will be great! and fermented leaves for you. you are perfectly aligned…i am working on a vinegar film! we make more cider here than we can drink…and other booze like wine from our (not wine type) grapes. syrup is a brilliant option. i thaw the grapes we’ve frozen, draw off the liquid and cook it down as molasses or to sweeten other preserves instead of sugar. you probably have citrus but ours are tiny still…so making verjus is good too. endless possibilities!

oh jacqueline, we’re elated that you think so. thanks for the encouragement.
Wow I didn't know a grape could swallow a house but I love the look.
i always wanted to live in a treehouse but living in a grapevine is just as nice
🙏 FAVORITE VIDEO ❤️ THANKS! 🥰💯
how nice! thank you! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
That is the most amazing example of grapevine I've ever seen or heard of. Simply, Wow!
it’s pretty wild. our kitchen is all shady now, which is perfect in hot july.
What a fantastic place to live❤
in a grapevine? we quite agree!
I had one on my house, just loved it. Going to do the same on my new house.
wonderful plan!
I love your videos
i’m so pleased that you do, isaac. a little short about grapevines (dormant season cuttings!) coming soon…
Love this video!! We are so inspired and thanks so much for really breaking down all the benefits of living with a grapevine!

❤I love the video. Have you tried growing raspberries and blackberries on trellis’s?
i’m glad! not yet but i have tried tay and boysenberry and goji…i do love a good trellis!
something like this I am trying to do here in the desert, hopefully my grapevine will grow big and beautiful as yours one day! thank you for sharing!
how wonderful! may it thrive and shade and feed you.
Thank you for this ❤

Everything looks nice at your place! How's the grapevine going this year?
thanks! such a happy grape every single year. x
Perfect Paradise.
yes. the grape makes everything exotic. thanks aria
Looks like our patio, the problem is that we have grown wine grapes insead of the sweeter ones 😅
nice! time for a second vine?
Wonderful.. love your video and your life...
thank you so much!
I love this! Just subscribed!
lovely! welcome aboard.
do u prune the plant to maintain a certain control ?
i do, but it just gets even bigger! ha!
What variety of duck is that? They have long necks!
they’re runner ducks!
It's a dream grapevine. Where r u from? and what's the variety?
bc, canada. it’s a himrod! green seedless table grape-but the wine i made from it turned out just great!
Where is it growing from?
the vine grows from a raised bed along the house, between it and the arbour over the driveway. it is frankly enormous.
How do the animals go in the winter, it's not to cold?
they do just fine, not so many days of snow and rarely gets to -8C, usually just wet.
@@appleturnover Interesting, thanks!
