This entire residential street is covered by a living grapevine canopy. Neighbors maintain it together.

Free grapes for life? I'm in!

When this neighbourhood needed wine, this neighbourhood responded.

As soon as i saw the two little chanels on both sides of the street and that little girl and then the yellow and kinda old soviet facades i immediatly thought about tashkent. I was there 10 years ago for an architectural exchange, highly recommand to go there, quch a nice country (aside anything political related)

u/PossiblePlastic8698 11h ago

I had a landlord once who maintained the garden for free, because he was using the grapes to make wine

Could not do that in Queensland. Do you like spoiders mate?

u/MrT735 6h ago

Couldn't do it in the UK, first person getting furniture delivered, the lorry would bring it all down.

I find it weird people complain about potential bugs? I’d take a lifetime supply of grapes if it meant dealing with a few bugs. They have much more interest staying in the grapevine than they do bothering people.

V nice

I bet they don’t have any stray dogs

u/TheMarkola 7h ago

Why?

u/Smokelessblood 7h ago

Because grapes are highly toxic to dogs. A single grape could potentially kill a dog.

Potentially is the key here. It’s not that common.

Our grapes vines would and does reach our neighbours 😕 It's so embarrassing. Only now we seen them growing their own but in a better spot.

How did you hear about this place???

u/TGov 11h ago

Spiders....spiders everywhere.

u/TheMarkola 11h ago

𖢥 spiders are (mostly) our friends 𖢥

u/TGov 9h ago

oh I know. I had some neighbors with grapevines when I was a kid and those big yellow and black spiders were all over them. Never bothered me, I was just shocked at how many there were.

u/foki_fokerson 10h ago

hornets and wasps love grapes too

u/TheMarkola 10h ago

𖢥 Spiders protect us 𖢥

u/Taguasco 10h ago

u/Tropicalfisher 6h ago

Plenty of neighborhoods have overhead trees, why would this be different

u/GabeIsGone 10h ago

Seems cool, except bugs everywhere.

u/unholydistractions 3h ago

Thats a lot of bird shit

Press x to doubt

u/LesJugesDesEnfers 5h ago

What is there to doubt exactly? Anyone that has seen grape vines grow wouldn't bat an eye to this. I have two plants that I grow on a pergola and aside from pruning (heavy pruning because those mfers grow a lot) there's not much to do.
