Grapes are goners!!

Just a quickie tonight as I've been catching up with some of your blogs and it's now quite late!!

Remember the overwhelming grapevines I told you about??


Yep...there they are in all their untrained and unrefined glory....like the triffids, trying to take over the plot!!


And here they aren't!! See the green bin at the end?? I had to climb in it and jump up and down rather vigorously four times to get the vines in but I did it and now the space is tidy and weed free!!

Now all I have to do is decide what will occupy the space in the future. I am after something low maintenance and tameable. An edible hedge was mentioned so that's something to look into...amy other ideas??

    You had your work cut out with that. I think an edible hedge is a lovely idea.

      It is No, providing I can find something that is low maintenance and won't take over!!

    Did you dig the vine out if not will surely come again. The sight of you jumping up and down in the wheelie bin must've been one to behold. Could you put some something on the side of the shed and let some runner beans climb up

      Not yet Sue....I'd run out of time but I will be getting as much of Chevrolet system as possible out next weekend.

      Forgot to say...that shed isn't on my plot it is the neighbours.

    Wow a big job. Could you train thornless blackberries or tayberries along the space?

      Good possibilities although blackberries can take over rather quickly. I've never grown tayberries so definitely something to think about.

      Tayberries are very vigorous, invasive and very thorny much worse to manage than a thornless blackberry. We have both.

    Dear Tanya,
    Thank you so much for visiting my blog post. I have been so busy working. I get up at 5:30 am and work until about four p.m. and go to bed at the same time as my daughter between seven and eight in the evening.

    I want to keep in touch.

    Hugs from Sweden and Anna
