I seem to have some disease (or lack of nutrients?) on my concord
grapes. The fruit, which is not yet ripe, is getting dark spots and
areas on it. I had this same problem last year, I thought maybe it was
due to the heavy rains we had.
Figuring a picture is worth a thousand words, I took a photo of some of
the fruit: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/concordgrapes.jpg
Maybe someone can identify what the problem is, and what some solutions
might be? I was looking forward to making some grape juice this year :-(

there.

Did you spray them with a fungacide? I used to live in Arkansas and had to
spray them with Captain (pronounced Cap-tane) every spring. That is about
the only problem we ever had with grapes. No bug problem.

No, I didn't. Perhaps I will have to consider it for next year, I
suspect it is too late this season.

You might try it if you have any left. Check out dthe information sheet
abougt how long before harvest you should stop using the product. I always
did it early enough to not have to worry about it.
