Jo,

I think they may need help pollinating. We had lots of mason bees last year and very full bunches. Bees were apparently killed off by the hard freeze we had, so we have lots of bunches this year but they are not nearly as full, meaning to me that some of them did not pollinate.

But i would expect you to have some grapes if you have all the little ones on the stems.

The time schedules for producing vary widely depending on the climate and the type of grape.

I planted the Grapes in my arbor in 2010 and had a few grapes in '11, more in 12, and loads of grapes this year, especially on the Himrod vine, which grows more vine and produces more grapes than the several other kinds i have. And, it is by far the best tasting and makes the best raisins of any i have.
