Im back after a long break! Thank you fellow bloggers for wishing me happy holidays and Selamat Hari Raya. Couldn't get enough of ketupat, rendang, kuah kacang and serunding yet even with endless open houses! No...Im not gorging myself...just sampling a bit of everything of all the sumptious food, food, glorious food! Then back to fasting again (6 days of Shawal)....
And...back to old routine...gardening! No Bangchik, didn't leave my plants for the moon and the stars to look after them haha.....the rain, the rain, the rain, such a welcomed relief! A nice surprise too when I saw my grape vines bearing a little bunch of green fruits, a second time after last December! This time, I counted more than 10 grapes in that bunch, compared to two the last time...haha..My fault cos I have been neglecting them last year. So the hot, blazing sun and the rains, with a bit of tender loving care, really do wonders after all!!!!
a nice surprise
grape vines covering the arbor provides good
shade for my potted plants

Hope to see more clusters of grapes next year!

How wonderful that you managed to plant grapes in such hot weather. Congrats!
This is a good one! You have grapes for the season :-D They make great dessert? I like to observe houses which plants this vine. The leaves are gorgeous. The fruits I can only see them when get closer. So, glad that you posted pictures of the fruits here. Btw, welcome back and glad to hear from you p3chandan!
Its just a week after Syawal month has started and hope not to late to wish Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri to you I think. What a wonderful feeling it must be seeing your grape plant has bear you some fruit especially growing in tropical weather. Your hari raya visitor would certainly get excited looking at it too!
I have the same type of grape in my garden. They turn purple after ripening.
Welcome back! Wow, it is nice to see your grapes! Are the grapes sweet? ^..^
Hi One welcome to my small garden, thanks for dropping by. Actually the vines love the hot sun, with water once a day and of cos pruning them, will encourage them to bear fruits. This is the second time it bears fruits though not a bountiful harvest but still, its worth the efforts!
Thanks Steph, glad to be back among the plants again, though lots of weeding to do! I love the vines when they are twinning n climbing the arbor, and you are looking up under it, to see the fruits peeking out of the leaves, kind of romantic..haha..Hope to have more bunches next year..
Thank you Malay-Kadazan girl, they certainly are a conversation piece for my visitors during Hari Raya!

Grapes! I didn't know we can grow grape vines in Malaysia. I only have fake grapes as my interior decor. Maybe by next year, you'll have enough grapes to make some wine ;-)

Hope you enjoy those juicy sweet ones once they ripe.
Thanks waliz..gardening teach us a lot of things esp patience n more often its worth all the trouble!
Autumn Belle..grapes have been grown here for quite sometimes already, you can easily get the seedlings from nurseries every where though its a challenge to grow them good enough to let them bear fruits too. Not wine Autumn Belle..maybe raisins..haha
