WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

I’m always looking for wild fruit to pick while walking around. Last week I was walking quite a bit Connecticut while on a training. Now, I’ve picked my fair share of wild concord grapes in New York State, but I’ve never seen the abundance, and really the size, of wild grapes as in Connecticut. I don’t know if they just have a different variety or their soil or climate is more conducive, but they sure do grow the best wild grapes I’ve ever seen/tasted.
