Well I was right, they produce grapes but never really ripen so aren't fit for human consumption, they do however look pretty and the birds do pick off the fruit in the autumn.
However.....
Grapevine takes over!! |
So in the autumn I will be removing them, my dilemma is, I don't just want posts and wire at the end of my plot. I want something bordering it but don't know what i should put here. I would like something that can give back in the way of beauty, habitat or food (either for me or the wildlife) something that would be a little easier to contain and something that will be there year on year to cut down the workload.
So if any of you have some ideas on what I could grow...please do let me know as at the moment I just can't decide.
Thanks in advance!

Vines are very rampant aren't they, I know the one in my mums garden is! What about a mixed edible hedge in its place? x
ReplyDeleteHave you enough raspberries? I am also considering a black raspberry. Grapevines do need constant pruning throughout the season or they do take advantage.
