They need more than a couple hours of sunlight all year. = }
Haha, tis true. It was the eternal optimist in me!!
Haha! I didn't see your comment down here and it's true!!! I don't think I ever saw sunshine when I have been to Scotland.
Wait. Maybe once.
Did you give up on them right away? Small grapes can be from poor pollination (while the flowers are blooming) Did you dare try them? :)
#MarketFriday loves you!
We did try them, bitter little things. Like an old smokers fingers.
We have it a chance for a couple of years but the second year it didn't even sprout any!
OMG! Like old smokers' fingers. That even sounds gross So that is so very telling right there.
Nothing off the wood? You had just sticks? I trim in the winter and leave short spurs on the trunk and main branches, They need full sun to bloom those flowers and you are in Scotland!! That never happened when I was there! Hehe... maybe once or twice, But, it is so beautiful, the weather becomes incidental.
Do you know what they say about sour grapes? leave them on the vine longer and they will be dripping with sweetness.
Sometimes that is a lie too! :)
I trimmed it quite close so that over winter it just looked like a nobbly stick. It started growing quite enthusiastically in late spring but I think that year was another bad one and it didn't really do much!
The lack of sin is why we drink so much I think 🤣🤣
I believe that counts as being fairly legit. I like the way you color in the lines. :)
