where do you get the Bordeaux mixture? I haven't managed to find any for sale,

Don't Homebase or B & Q have it? Come to think of it I haven't bought
any in Britain now for some time.

I'm going over to France on Thursday of next week for five days. Let me
know and I can bring you some back (that is, if you still commute past
Reading these days). Alternatively I could find a recipe and you could
get a chemist to make some up.

BTW - the plants you gave me in Dec 1999 are growing well, and I'm letting them
produce a little fruit for the first time this year.


Thanks for the feedback. Can't remember whether they were Chasselas or
Seyval Blanc, but they should certainly be ready to produce a crop this
year.

Best wishes, David
