Red Grape- Vitis vin. 'Zilga'

This grape is supposedly extra hardy. Let us see if it works out in my little garden. This is the third grape plan I plant in my garden. First plant has never managed to do any use. Second neither (but I just planted it last year). Actually the second plant had some green stuff that seemed to be grapes, but I happened to break them off the plant when re-planting it.
Theoretically, this plant will give grapes in August and September. Let us see.
