The fruits of Cochrane Towers

Shows what a lovely summer we had (and a grape friendly winter before it). Yes, these are edible!

What a gorgeous bunch of grapes. That's a very healthy vine you have there.

We're very pleased with it. So are the birds who seem to like those grapes, too!

Oh that takes me back. When I was a toddler in the east end there was a grape vine all along the wall of the kitchen between the back door and the loo. The grapes were tiny sour green things that made good jam but were nasty to eat, not big luscious things like those. :)

Normally ours are sour green things. They rarely ripen so lusciously. And if they do, the birds get them first...

Oh, so gorgeous! We had a lovely grapevine we'd planted in Thame but didn't know enough about transplanting mature fruit at the time to bring it with us. I so wish we had as I suspect the landlord would have chopped it down (lovely as he was, I can understand him not wanting to have to maintain it)

Edited because this autospell thing doesn't understand the difference between Thames & Thame

LOL I did wonder, when the original came through, how you'd planted a vine in the Thames. :)

I think our vine suffers from me not really knowing what I'm supposed to do with it...

We had a vine in Suffolk. I occasionally had a few grapes off it. However, I suspect Huddersfield is better suited to loganberries and pears.

Loganberries are magnificent. :)

Mine certainly have been this year.
