- Grapes are started from seedlings Days to harvest: 3 years . Light requirements: Full sun. Water requirements: Regular watering We are seedlings, We can take years to grow, we need need to see the light= GOD WATER= THE WORD (BIBLE)
- Grapes have very deep roots= we are what is instilled in us
- Most grapes are not self-fertile, so you should plan on growing 2 or 3 separate vines in order for them to produce any fruit.We can not live a full life with out him we should teach our vines (children, peers, friends, family) so they can also produce and share the legacy of the Lord.
- Choose a sunny location where you have space to put up wires to train the vines for support Keep yourself surrounded with believers (sunny people) put up the wire (mission) train the vines to support it!
- Having your grapes on a trellis or other kind of support is a must with grapes-You MUST have and be the backing, someone to hold you up, a mentor, an "advisory group, thanks ladies"
- Heavy pruning is also a necessary part of growing grapes- Pruning= involving the selective removal of parts of a plant. 2 things here: 1) remove the people in your life who are not good for you. Be selective in who you have surrounding you. If you are surrounded by negative you will be negative. If you surround your self with well grounded, believers you will be more likely to see the works of the Lord. 2) remove all the worrying, doubt, negative thoughts, stress and frustrations from your grape(soul) Lay it all out for the Lord. A great price was paid for you.. He does not want us to do these things, he suffered so we didn't have to.
- you want the vines to grow large grapes with good flavor. Allowing the plant to produce too many grapes will result in very small fruit with poor taste He has laid this on me...Im just speaking it. I feel it is better to have 1 person (Large Grape) FULL of GOD, a true believer, son or daughter of GOD than a bunch of grapes(people) proclaiming it but not walking it. I WANT TO WALK IT!
- choose the strongest vine to be your future “trunk”. Tie that vine to both wires, training to grow upright-Can you be the trunk? Do you want to be the trunk? for your children, your friends, your family, OUR GOD???
I'm out on that note...

I really love this. Life is a garden there is no doubt. But life is also a mirror, it reflects what we do and the decisions we make. To grow strong vines we also need a fertilizer, and a good soil. If we let God be our sunlight, and our consciousness willing to prune and show us the peers that will keep our good company. We must choose a good plot, sometimes even making the soil ourselves. And we must choose from a range of fertilizers to provide the substance to make the grapes that will fuel the future. Keep these things in mind as you go forward.
