What a year it has been for soft fruit this year. In my freezer, I have strawberries, blackcurrants, rhubarb and raspberries. The black grapes that grow over a garden pergola have been so heavy this year with fruit. We have eaten them fresh, have 4 gallons of wine fermenting and still have some hanging there. They should have been thinned a lot more than they were, but being overhead, were hard to see until changing colour and actually set a second lot of fruit.
As well as fruit, it has made lots of growth this year and wonder if I should cut it back as well as thinning it out. It was planted for shade. so don't want to deplete the growth overhead too much. Any advice will be much appreciated.
