The grapevines are starting to lose their leaves and I need to trim things back soon. The vines have created a privacy wall around the front yard, but I’m looking forward to opening things up again for a while.
Grapevine wall
The vine has grown up to 30 feet long in some places and is still grabbing and wrapping around branches and wires along the fence.
Over, through and around - amazing!
Up, over and around twice! How does it know to do this??!!!!
The vine looks messy from afar, but taking an up-close view is so interesting! Another little miracle of nature…..

My elderly neighbor has a Cup of Gold vine growing in her front yard and the plant was sending shoots straight up into the air. She wanted them cut but her gardener hadn’t been showing up, so I took on the task. I cut four stalks down and then cut those in shorter pieces to try to propagate. I dipped the ends in Rootone and stuck them in pots. Fast forward about two months and voila! What a nice surprise to find that one of the sticks had finally sprouted. One out of eight isn’t a great return, but it only cost me a few minutes of time so it’s all good!!!
