I'll try it if I can ever find it. Someone gave us a fire seedless grapevine as a housewarming gift, and well it hasn't done much at all. The first year it got maybe 3 feet high. This year it's more than double in size, but not even hinting at grapes.Brad Bhttp://rootedincalifornia.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-83039330807140327132009-08-31T17:15:59.995-07:002009-08-31T17:15:59.995-07:00How long have you been gardening the "back 40...How long have you been gardening the "back 40"? I'm in SF as well, 20th/Bryant Sts. I love keeping up with the progress of the garden. Gives me inspiration for my own backyard..this is only the 3rd year. Definitely needs some soil improvement, but a work in progress:)Ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435370327322708014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-64869200538474713862009-08-29T07:50:46.574-07:002009-08-29T07:50:46.574-07:00Raised bed!

Veilchenblau is one of our very favorite roses. I liked thinking the name meant veil of blue, veil or night, veil of black, personal fave, but was told it actually is the word for violet. Are those berries Caroline?<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-88822706351707441882009-08-28T15:39:56.868-07:002009-08-28T15:39:56.868-07:00I'm liking that raised bed, too...think I need...I'm liking that raised bed, too...think I need a few more of those.

I moved a bunch of native rock to an area and attempted that a couple years ago -huge failure - never got past the first layer. You really need lots of big rocks. ka ching. I actually asked for a load of rocks for my birthday. My Ann Atkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725150717798923531noreply@blogger.com
