Thanks. That's why I don't hold out a lot of hope except about it being a
nice foliage plant. We've had a few days now of full sun, but that is rare
here. Usually it's overcast for at least most of the day. Warm we have at
the moment, but also warm nights. By a month from now, though, it'll start
getting chilly, and by mid-September, day and night will be pretty cool and
it will be raining all the time. This just isn't a grape country. A friend
says her parents were able, with a lot of work, to grow a lot of purple
grapes of some sort one year but that they tasted like water. We'll just see
what we get, but I expect I'll be making a lot more rolled grape leaves than
I will jams.
Thanks,
Katrina
