Wow! Thanks for sharing. One of my favorite childhood memories is my grandfather's garden. He was a WW1 veteran that lived through The Flu Pandemic, the Great Depression, served in Spanish and American War and was an amazing and resilient, hardworking man. He grew everything he could think of in his large back yard. Last I checked, ...the Concord Grapes were still there... 100 years old. I admire his hard work and life that he took responsibility for.

How wonderful! My husband describes just such memories of his grandparents garden. What a treasure of memories! Would you be able to ask for a grape cutting to propagate for your own yard? Well now you've made me want to see if Bill can take a cutting of his grandpa's pear tree for a graft. (If we weren't so horrible at grafting!)
