Do you think I would be able to grow a fruiting grape vine up North? I

Cover the wall in govt. surplus camouflage netting until it grows.
I know the stuff you mean - cheap as 'owt. Would I be able to use it instead
of a trellis for the vine/kiwi fruit as well? That might be a really good
idea.
I have seen it done. It looks o.k.
it, rather than trying to paint it, but it's only about a foot long so
far,
so there's a way to go!
We have three fruiting vines growing in our garden in the Netherlands.
How far up North are you?
Bury, just North of Manchester.
a bit further north than we are
