We have spent the last few weeks working on our old barn. Not much going on in our vineyard just now. Waiting for the Katuah Muscadines to fully ripen before we harvest... Brix today was 12-13.

Welcome to the Katuah Muscadine BlogSpot!

Welcome to the Katuah Muscadine Blog.
I will try to keep everyone updated on the progress (and sometimes the lack of) in propagating and growing the native, cold-hardy Katuah Muscadine and Katuah Scuppernong grapes here in the mountains of western North Carolina. Please feel free to ask questions. I will do my best to answer them for you.
Grow Grapes and Prosper!
