IWereAbsolutelyFuming - I'm honoured by the mention.

Can I make a special offer to you and all other allotment holders on this thread, collectible in person Sunday May 22 at my allotments open day, namely cuttings of gooseberry and grape?

These gooseberry cuttings are now potted on


and can be trained like this - this is where they came from. The fruit when purple and ripe are sweet enough to eat off the bush


And here are some grape cuttings, now showing rather more leaf


The variety is "Black Hamburgh" and I got well over fifty bunches of very sweet grapes from it last year, growing outside against a south facing wall. Very disease resistant.
