Thanks again. I've never seen hops growing and couldn't tell for sure from pictures. Now that I know it's not that, I won't feel bad pulling it out.

Hi! I'm looking for a fast growing vine for my garden fence. I've heard that hops is fairly fast growing. Could you please send me a picture? My email is marric.acres@sympatico.ca. Thanks

I don't like Cherry tomatoes. (Ducks as rotten tomatoes come flying at me LOL). I like grape tomatoes because they are sweet, but still have the tomatoey flavor I'm looking for. I've never met a cherry I liked. I think I also don't like the shape of cherrys for my salad. But I hear very good things about Black Cherry, so I'm going to try that this year. Still, I want a grape tomato as I like them for my salads. The 3 I mentioned are what I already have seed for. I don't think I want to go to the trouble and expense of paying $5(with shipping) just to get seeds for a grape tomato.I checked the exchanges section and unfortunately no one was offering any fabulous grape tomato seeds, so these are my options. By the way, has anyone ever tried sweet pea curant? It sounds so flavorful.... and cute too.

First I a man newbie with grapes. My grapes are now 3rd year in my yard and the first time we are seeing grapes flowers and then cluster. We were delighted. Then saw the symptoms you described. We googled it and found that it is called black rot, a fungus, that affect all part of the vine. We tried to cut off the leaves and grapes clusters that were affected last week. We were left with a fraction of the grapes, but it seems to be more contained now. Hopefully, we can manage to get a few grapes by fall.
