Out of control grape vine!
Higgs Boson said:
"Most grapes do not really care about soil.." David, can you hear the anguished screams from vintners of France and everywhere else where wine grapes are grown! Can you say "terroir"??? Well! The vintners may care, but the *grapes* don't! The wild ones are scrambling all over the neglected parts of the neighbors' yards, despite the fact that we all live on something approximating a fossil sand dune. Every year I have to pull down vines. The only nice thing I can say about these vines is that, unlike the buckthorn, ailanthus, euonymus, white mulberries, Siberian elm, white poplar, multiflora roses, etc, etc. that seed themselves all over the neighborhood, the grapes (and poison ivy) are natives. -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Yes, swooping is bad." email valid but not regularly monitored |
