Was picking blackberries today and saw what may be wild grapes. But there are all kids of little green pods busting open with 2-4 green pods inside. Is this how grapes grow? U can post pictures later if anyone needs them.
 
I've never seen grapes in a pod before...

Here's what most grapes look like:

How young are those? These, whatever they are, are extremely young.
 
They look similar but not exactly like the buds. I'll try and get a picture when I get home if it's still light enough.
 
Well, after some research and more knowledgable people helping, it appears to be wild Fox Grapes.
Upon further inspection, what I thought was pods was one that had busted open. I broke another open and it was just the seed in there. So, I'm an idiot. But a now better educated idiot!!
Looks like some wine making is in my fall schedule now!!
 
Where do u live. Those look a lot like my black Spanish grapes right now. I would say definitely grapes by the pics.
