Vines get BIG
Ok, I knew we were pushing it on the space front...but in my special dream garden I imagined the vines would wind their way around everything and stay on the ground. My plan didn't include the fact that they actually grow UP too--and they send out wonderful little wrappy fingers that attach to everything in their paths--including eggplants and artichokes. We'll see how it goes, but it's not looking great for the artichoke, eggplants and peppers. Not to mention that the beets down in Beetton have enormous sun shades covering them. Well, at least the Radish Nation seems to be escaping the encroaching giants--so far.
Next year I'll get a permaculture book. Until then, we'll keep doing our best!
