Four of the vines are bronze ... here we refer to them as green most of the time ... and they are technically scuppernongs I believe. The other eight are a large black variety (which we call purple) and the man has promised me some plants from his very small black variety. The small ones are a real pain to deal with but they add the most delicious note to jelly or wine. For some reason, they don't seem to make much difference in syrup (probably overcome by all the sugar).
For the support system we will be using 2-inch iron pipe and vinyl coated steel cable and it will look very much like an old-style t-post double clothesline, except it will only be chest high, which keeps the vines very 'pickable' at that height. You can actually put down a stool and pick very easily. Those are not the exact materials that the plans call for, but that is something that we have on hand and will actually be more durable.
If you get a chance, would you post the contact information for the company that sells the capsules? I like using natural remedies and that one sounds like it could do both me and the hubby person some good!
As usual, thanks for the info!
I can’t even count ... there are 10 black muscadines, not 8. Not that it matters all that much, but I hate mistakes!
nutragon is the name of the company. Several others make it, but that’s the one I’m most familiar with. My boss’ brother works for the Duplin County Ag extension service,and he’s the one that told us. Boss and his brother both take it for chol. It has a lot of antiinflammatory good stuff too. I’ve noticed since I’ve been taking it—not very long, I’m hardheaded—I’m sleeping better and I don’t hurt as much, even this time of year. I’m putting in solid 10 hour days at the store. Some days the only time I sit is driving to and fro.
Yeah, muscadines and scuppernongs are the same thing. Be careful you don’t build a lightning rod!
If I’ve ever seen a mayhaw, it was called by another name. Funny how everywhere has it’s own names for stuff.
