Grape hyacinths are a group of plants in the genus Muscari of plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of blue flowers resembling bunches of grapes. There are about forty species.
Some species are among the earliest to bloom in the spring, and are planted both in flower beds as well as in lawns. They are planted as bulbs and tend to multiply quickly when planted in good soils.

They're almost ripe, and it is a race between me and the critters (birds), which are eating them at a fast clip. I draped bird netting over the arbor, but there are too many gaps and it is probably not going to do much good. If I can get enough in a week I can start to harvest.
What is it about vermin this year? I've had more losses from birds, raccoons, and groundhogs than ever before. Maybe it's due to our hot dry summer here? The birds have probably eaten 20% of my crop and I am hoping to get 50-60% of it.
Yes, yes, I know: to you city slickers out there, raccoons are just so darned cute: vermin?!? YES!
Still, the vines were loaded this year, and grapes are an especially satisfying crops on many levels, not least from an aesthetic one.
It is grape season here in Lodi, California and the wine grapes are ready for harvest. I shot these the other day and used some spayed water to give them some texture.
Die Weintrauben gedeihen prächtig dieses Jahr, wird wohl ein guter Jahrgang werden....
The grapes are looking wonderful this year, I hope we get some tasty wines...
go figure, on a college campus in the middle of wine country, we'd have some grapes growing -- they show the autumn colors more than anything right now, such wonderfully winey tones...
Grapes intended for wine production are much smaller than grocery-store grapes, include a seed, and have a thicker skin.
