The Lemon Fool

Several years ago my wife planted some grape pips in a planter on the Patio. Much to our delight a plant appeared and grew ( slowly ). Last winter there were 3 grapes about the size of a large match head. In the winter I pruned it to within an inch of its life. This summer has seen it produce several healthy looking bunches of grapes which are slowly growing in size. Over the last few weeks there has been a growth spurt of the stems further along from where the grape bunches are. I am tempted to prune these just past the grape bunches as I suspect that doing so will make the grapes grow bigger.

As you can tell, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, can anyone offer advice?
