I'm jacked for this season. Vine's will be 6 yr old. Hope to get first jam/jelly produced this harvest. Also diving into making wine, mix, match, blend the 4 varioties... Have a lot to learn, any tips appreciated.

Mix your different types of grapes and different levels of ripeness for a good wine. Grandparents had the little still in the cellar and they always mixed 3-4 different types of grapes.
I cannot get mine to fruit
They have blossoms
Where I grew up, we had an entire fence line of Mustang Grapes

Odd. Mustangs are supposed to be pretty easy to grow I thought. How old are they? What fertilizers are you using? How's the soil conditions around them?
i dont think the ones i have now
are Mustangs

They seem to be needy, mildew and blk dot will knock them back too, you really have to love those babies to get a harvest imo.i have a blk Spanish southern that can fill a good size trash can FULL.. Real good flavor.
Out of the 4 vines 2 have seeds, 2 do not. The seeded grapes faired better than the non seed last two yrs...
