    Associating Grapes

    Have you, like me, started associating plants/things on your plot with Grapes?

    Example: Last night I was on t'plot harvesting oversized asparagus peas (don't they grow fast all of a sudden?) when a few little bees - two honey and one bumble came along and scooting from flower to flower. It made me think of Headfry and her girls.

    I then went to check on my runner beans and I thought of Flummery.

    Whenever I see sweetpeas now I think of piskie.

    and so on...

    Do you associate any grape/s with any particular thing/plant?

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

    What would Vedder do?

    Flummery doesn't grow runner beans! Climbing French pour moi, my lad!

      Ooh, sorry ma - I should have said beans in general (and my peas). Not that you remind me of peas/beans you understand...

      What are my Blauhilde?

        Climbing French - or probably better to call them pole beans - French they most certainly don't sound. A touch Germanic I'd say. Good bean though, eh?

          Now I'm confuddled!

              I gave up on them after the third attempt. Celeriac's going great guns though.

                There's always Tescos I suppose!
                The leaves on our KR are looking great but I was hoping for them to be doing what it says on the packet by now!!

                            I do think of you HW when I harvest Beetroot; and I think of you waiting for that gas man. And when I see tall compost heaps after you taking those photos from funny angles trying to convince us that your heap was big.

                            I think of all the people who have sent me seeds when I harvest them.

                            I think of Flummery when I look at my spuds as I'm saving some of the fruit for you.

                            Piskie is deffo sweet peas. And a glass of wine held aloft.

                            Wellie every time I see stacked up flowerpots [not often as I'm a messy one and don't usually tidy up that often, but when I do...]

                            Two_Sheds when I see blue sheds on a lottie. Got to be the right shade of blue of course.
