"Mr N just reminded me about the grape vine. We make gallons of wine every year from it" My dad had a grape vine for a few years when I was little. We got tiny grapes once, but not good enough to do anything with. He got rid of it eventually. What's your secret? | |||

We got tiny grapes once, but not good enough to do anything with. He got rid of it eventually. What's your secret? " I wish I knew. Our garden does seem to have a microclimate all of its own. We bought a vine around five years ago put it in the ground to grow over the pergola and just left it. We do give it a bucket if water every day in the summer. Last year we got around 4/500 large bunches and made around 12 gallons of wine. The left over grapes were composted. We normally eat a load but they weren't sweet enough last year. | |||

"We haven't planted any seeds yet, but we do still have a mini apple tree, gooseberry bushes, redcurrants, blueberries and strawberries.

You're lucky to be able to grow blueberries I've never had any success "I don't take enough care of them really. I need to feed them properly. My dad has the 2 biggest blueberry bushes ever and gets so many it's insane. The birds don't touch his, but they do eat all his gooseberries. It's odd as my gooseberries are left untouched. | |||

They literally left the outer skin on the tree. Other years they haven't touched them. | |||

We used to grow a lot of our own veg (potatoes, leeks, beetroot, carrots, onions, French beans, runner beans, broad beans, kale and sweetcorn), but we moved house and we haven't got an allotment, yet!

"We grow a *lot* of stuff. It’s early in the year yet, but I’m already harvesting wild garlic, parsley, chives, lovage and asparagus. " Yay! Scotland has finally caught up and you can bask in the gloriousness of wild garlic. My idea of heaven would be my grandparents land. It's beautiful. I lived there for six years - there were plum and apple trees. Various herbs in the herb garden. We created a veg patch during my first month there and would grow runner beans, courgettes, potatoes, a myriad of things. My grandma taught me how to pluck and prepare pheasant, when sloes were ready, all the things a good country girl should know. :D I want to start growing things again but I like the wild cottage garden look too much (yay bees and laziness). | |||

"Yay! Scotland has finally caught up and you can bask in the gloriousness of wild garlic." Yep! I’ve made focaccia filled with wild garlic pesto, and I’ve been tearing and scattering handfuls of leaves over chicken thighs with lemon and potatoes. It’s glorious stuff. | |||
