We have a 30-year-old grapevine that climbs around the dining-room
window. In all those 30 years it has never produced anything edible,
but we like the shape of the leaves, so have left it. This year, for
the first time ever, we had a huge harvest of grapes. We picked most,
but left those hanging prettily from above the window - and for the
last three weeks or so the we have had red admirals almost non-stop on
the grapes. They seem to be licking them.... I am glad they are finding
something before their awesome journey across the Channel, and maybe
across the Mediterranean - I just hope they aren't leaving it too late!


The leaves are edible as stuffed vine leaves, quite easy to make and
there are lots of recipes on the Web.

If the fruit aren't edible it's probably a wine grape, my parents had
one and made wine most years but it was really only good for cooking.

Enjoy your butterflies!
