Last Year's Tomatoes

A look back at warmer and yummier days last fall...

Great production from this variety this summer. Better Boy (vfn). Uniform ripening in the store room picked a few weeks ago before the first real killing frost.

Valiant Grapes in Saskatchewan

 

The fruit is blue in colour. Outstanding feature is that it ripens about the 3rd week of August. The vine produces a large crop of medium sized, sweet tasting grapes and is the best eating variety.

Grapes are an ideal quick cover and will quickly turn a fence or trellis into a 'green wall'! They will produce fruit with one plant, but for best production plant two. Good rule of thumb is one plant every 8 ft.
