Talking about the reason why he started growing grapes, Mr. Khoa excitedly said: “It was also due to the fact that a friend gave it to me, and a while ago on my terrace, I grew a variety of vegetables from fruit to leaves, but my family didn’t use all of it, so it was a waste. I decided to spend a part of the terrace area to grow grapes.”
Initially, Mr. Khoa only planted grapes for the purpose of creating shade on the terrace, helping the house to cool down and save space. Unexpectedly, the vine gave such wrong fruit.

“The vine is welded with a water pipe frame, using a telephone wire to make the grapes climb,” Khoa said. The terrace is 35m2 wide, which is now covered by the grapevine.
“This is the second year of growing the grapes, but the tree has been so fruitful that it is impossible to count exactly how many bunches. If the whole rig is harvested, it will probably be 4-5 times more than last year. While last year, he harvested more than half a kilo of grapes, “said Khoa.
“The grapes are not ripened evenly, so maybe after only 1 month, our family can start enjoying the ripe grapes on this rig. The grapes are also very sweet and fragrant with the mango scent, which is very “pleased” with his wife and children. you”, Mr. Khoa smiled.
