As we didn’t kill the vines we decided to try growing other things. We went to a local nursery and bought some trees. Apparently most things grow up here but hybrid trees do particularly well. So we bought a plumcot (plum x apricot), a peachcot (peach x apricot), a nectarine, a mandarin and a walnut tree.
We wanted to plant some trees to camouflage the garage a bit and we decided to plant one in each corner of the fenced garden where Ned and Milly have worn away all the grass while rabbit and quail watching!

We also bought some tomato plants, cucumbers and strawberries. Something’s already eaten one of the cucumbers and nibbled at the other. I bought a new one today and have put them in a tall pot to try to keep them from whatever’s eating them.
