Grape ripening

Period: June-August

Summer starts with flowers. According to local belief, the grape harvest begins 100 days after the flowering of the vine. That is, in our case, in mid-September, but this is not always true.

What is blooming? This is the second-to-last phase of the growing season, in which the flower separates, the stamens straighten, the pollen spills out and the bush is fertilized.

Growth of grapes in early July

The beginning of the ripening of berries occurs at the end of July (as illustrated in the photo). The grapes change colour, and at the end of August the grapes will gain sugar. Very soon, the berries will reach maturity and the collection will begin.
