There are no planting holes in the floor, but I have heard that a useful alternative is to plant the vine outside against the wall, and train it through a hole into the conservatory. The hole would be large enough to accept the girth of the vine when matured, and would be packed with foam or a similar material in the meantine. Is this a sensible approach? (One of my concerns is mice!) Bob Flowerdew says he now advocates growing vines in big containers and keeping them inside in summer and outside in winter. Yes that way round. I forget the reasoning but have heard him say it more than once on GQT. It is probably in one of his books somewhere. Our vines grow in the garden without any protection. -- Martin |
