On the grapevine...

What could be better than brewing your own booze? How about growing your own grapes and hops then brewing your own booze. Home grown and home brewed!

We've got a big metal mesh fence at the back of the plot, which faces south and gets sploshed in hours of summer sunshine. It would be ideal for some vine-like plants to climb up. Vine like plants such as grapes and hops.

Sadly, after much investigation, it seems we missed the time to plant them (early spring). So looks like we'll have to wait until next year to get them going. This means that it probably won't be 'our round' until xmas time 2011 - but it should be a very merry xmas at that!
