The planting is fantastic. I like the sort of wild look mix also though I am with Gordon on the grapes - I don't like actual grapes but there is nothing like looking at an extended vine in full glory and my fallback on sparse food is grape leafs as their is enough of them to feed the nation. Brilliant photos - I will have to come back to them and look in detail for some tips again, CB

I wanted a grape vine to go up the pergola but couldn't get one in the garden centre. Do they drop their grapes at all? Having two doggies and one being a pug who will eat anything, makes me worry a bit.
