The Kyoho grapevine I planted in the garden in April 2023 has borne fruit. Perhaps it's becoming accustomed to the soil—its branches are growing faster than last year, and when I took a closer look in April, I noticed buds forming.
Today, about two months after the buds first appeared. Some clusters lost their fruit due to the wind and other factors, but several have grown considerably. In particular, the grapes have noticeably swelled over the past two weeks.

Looking at it now, it’s grown quite a lot. I've been pruning the new branches as they keep shooting out, but it's gradually becoming hard to manage. If it looks like the fruit can be harvested properly, I’m thinking of building a sturdier trellis for the grapevine.
