harvesting grape leaves

Just now getting a bit of harvest. A pint of lovely ripe raspberries last night and so many more to come.
Lots of salad. Zucchini blossoms...
Grape leaves are brining in the fridge. What to do with them. Never cared much for the Dolmas, mint mushy gummy rice
filling. Maybe it is a memory of the canned 'International foods' shelf so intriguing years ago but so strange, and processed cans. I suppose i could adapt the traditional to ingredients i like and i'm sure fresh will be so much better. I just expected to find many other uses doing a google search. I did find a fish dish after many tries. But more excited about his sauce!...
"The final component of this dish is the sauce. I simply whizzed up some fresh Spring peas (frozen is fine) with some chives, mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh dill, capers and finished off with some salt and pepper."

Here is a link that might be useful: poached fish in grape leaves

And the scapes, a total bust. Hard as pencils. Had to research the allium forum to find out why...my garlic bed was overrun with rudbeckia a few years ago and i often just let nature enjoy itself. The scapes are everywhere but allowed to run wild. I made a new bed and transplanted and will have the proper harvest next year...

just wondering on how people harvest these small guys with the different ripening times on the plant so i can get enough to enjoy. They plant more than one plant so that they have more ripe at the same time. In the meantime there really is no way to "keep them fresh" while waiting on the others to ripen. Fridge storage ruins the taste and freezing turns them to mush. Room temp, out of the direct sun, is the best storage. Just be patient and wait for the plant to mature. Dave

Thank you franktank232 for looking up what chemicals are in the Bayer mix that I used. After talking more about this with my husband, I think we will go ahead and harvest them. He said a systemic shouldn't be able to get into too much when it is only misted on leaves and not poured onto the root base. I am hoping, too, that with the intense sun we've had and now some hard rains that that will add to the safety issue. Now all I have to be concerned about is trying to keep birds and insects from getting to the grapes before we can. Netting will keep birds out, but not insects. Have heard they love to get in and suck the juice out of the grapes. I think that would be harder to take than the Japanese beetles.

Grapes - ok to prune at harvest?
Q
Comments (4)
I agree with justa guy's comments. If you want to thin the leaves adjacent to the clusters, that is OK. Remove the leaf opposite and above the cluster, as well as the one just before and just after the cluster, but it is best to do the majority of pruning in the winter. One exception is the 'suckers' that emerge at ground level and usually are quite vigorous. If you get any of those at the trunk, remove them and leave no stub.
