    (L4) My Concord Grapes Simple Formatting

    Grapes and pumpkins can both be grown at home with some preparation and care. Concord grapes provide antioxidants that can help reduce cholesterol and boost immunity. They grow on vines that need sun exposure and support from poles as the vines wind around them. Pumpkins grow best directly in the ground on mounds in sunny areas with space for their long vines. Seeds should be planted 1 inch deep and thinned as seedlings emerge to give the desired plants room to grow. Regular watering and pest removal is needed as the pumpkins develop.

    Concord Grapes
    A cultivar of the genus Vitis labrusca
    The Concord grape is most known for its use in grape juice and jellies. The grape is named after
    the city in Massachusetts, where it was first grown. The Concord grape has many health benefits
    that are missing from other fruits and vegetables. It counts as a blue and purple fruit, providing
    nutrients other colored fruits are lacking.
    Concord grapes provide antioxidants that can help reduce “bad” cholesterol. The grape also
    provides a high amount of vitamin C that can help boost the immune system. The health benefits
    are most prevalent in 100% juice versus a juice blend.

    Growing grapes in your yard


    Considerations:
    Growing grapes might seem like a good idea, but they are very high maintenance, so there are
    several things to consider before deciding whether to plant them in your yard:
    Grapes like sun all day.
    They do not want to be where it is too wet or windy.
    If necessary, they can root down deep to get enough water.
    They do not want to be near trees or buildings.
    Support the vines:
    Grapes grow on vines and need to be supported. To create your own support, start with a steel or
    bamboo rod and make sure one end is buried at least one foot (30 cm.) deep in the ground for
    support. As they grow, encourage the vine to wind around the pole. Each plant needs its own
    pole. If you are planting more than one vine, plant them in a row several feet apart and use wire
    to connect your poles. The branches will wind and wrap around the wires to connect to each
    other.
    Plant growth:
    When pea sized grapes begin growing you will need to remove leaves that are covering the fruit.
    Make sure to remove any weeds growing under your plants and around the trucks of your vine.
    Pumpkins
    A genus of winter squash: Cucurbita
    Pumpkins can be used in a variety of ways—from carving and decorating to cooking. No matter
    how you choose to use them, you can start by growing them in your garden at home.
    Growing pumpkins
    Timing: It’s best to wait until your soil reaches at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21.11 degrees
    Celsius) as pumpkins do not do well in cold weather.
    Location:
    Choose a sunny area with a lot of space for the long, sprawling vines, which need at least 50
    square feet (4.64 square meters). If you are worried about space, pumpkins can be planted on the
    edge of your garden or they can even be planted in a 5 or 10 gallon (.0189 - .03785 cubic meters)
    bucket.
    Planting seeds:
    Your pumpkins will do best if the seed is planted directly in the ground. Seeds are best planted
    on small hills (or “mounds”) in rows. The hills allow the soil to get warmer, germinating seeds
    faster, and they help encourage drainage and discourage pests. Mounds should be approximately
    3-6 feet (.0914 – 1.828 meters) apart. Plant seeds approximately 1 inch (.0254 meters) deep.
    Plant growth:
    In less than one week, your plant should germinate (if the soil temperature is right) and you
    should find seedlings within 5-10 days. Thin out unwanted plants by snipping the tops of the
    plants off—do not pull the root out as this may disturb the plants you want to keep. Prune vines
    as plants grow to ensure that there is enough room for the pumpkins as they grow. You will need
    to water your pumpkins regularly as they are thirsty plants. Keep pests and weeds away
    throughout the growing cycle.
