- [Beverly] Hi, I'm Beverly Welch. We're here at the Arbor Gate today with Angela Chandler from The Garden Academy. -

[Angela] Hi, Beverly.

- And if you're a follower of our YouTube, which I hope you are, you know what great fans Ann, Angela, and I are of herbs and edibles.

- Oh, absolutely. It's a basic part of our gardening.

- Yes, and so three to me of the easiest fruits to grow are figs, blackberries, and grapes.

- They really are because they require minimal care.

- Right, and, you know, it's a vertical.

- Right, it gives you space in the garden.

- So, sometimes people complain they run out of space. So, this is one we can train easily up on a trellis or an arbor.

- Yeah, and when you train one on an arbor, then you get the aesthetic, you know, addition to your garden, too, because they're awfully pretty.

- Oh, they're beautiful. Now, one in particular, you know, we haven't ever been known to be able to grow especially wonderful table grapes, but there is a new introduction to us called Victoria Red.

- Yes, and everybody's excited about it. You know, muscadines have been sort of the staple grape for the Gulf Coast, and there's a handful of table grapes that we can grow with success. But Victoria Red has kind of taken the South Texas by storm, so we're kind of excited to have it.

- I know I'm anxious to get one here in the garden.

- Mm-hmm. Me, too.
