Grapes - King of the North
We had a light frost here last night and my King of the North grapes are ready for picking. The first picture shows them from one end. The second picture shows the row of all four vines on the right side of the greenhouse. The green house is in the center and on the left side are some of the tomatoes that are still hanging on.

It has a strong Concord grape like taste, but sweeter. They are seeded, but other than that they would would make a good table grape. Best for juices, jellies or jams.

Hi Karen,
I am in zone 5 and thanks for the compliment. Madison, Wisconsin is the origin of King of the North per Jung Seed; https://jungseed.com/dp.asp?pID=3022...he+North+Grape. Some venders claim King of the North vines are hardy to zone 3. Dutch
