Harvest took place at the Twin Vines vineyard yesterday. Rain and cooler weather had conspired to delay things, but the sugar level readings this week indicated that it was indeed time to pick. Twin Vines is about 2 acres, and is planted to 5 red Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. We initially determined the planting proportions for this vineyard by finding the published blend quantities for as many red Bordeaux wines, and as many California Meritage wines as possible, and then finding the average. We ended up with about 50% Cab S. going down to around 5% of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Interestingly, these varieties have differing ripening characteristics, which can prove to be a challenge when it comes to picking (because we want to harvest just once each season). As it stands, harvest went perfectly--the fruit was great, averaging around 26% sugar (or, 26 brix), and we came away with about 3,550 pounds of grapes for our first field blend
We've started growing an ivy geranium, Pelargonium peltatum up the side of one of our Peppermint trees, Agonis flexuosa, as an experiment in adding another dimension to the garden. As I noticed its increasing size over the past 12 months, it occurred to me that maybe I'm doing a major dis-service to my tree. Instead of adorning the Peppermint's bark, perhaps I'm gradually killing it with this creeper's beauty?
Sadly, it wouldn't be the first time a tree has died at the hands of an ignorant gardener - and it certainly won't be the last - so I was keen to rectify the problem, if indeed there were a problem to rectify.
It's logical for gardeners to desire this space as an extension of their planting boundaries. But, select the wrong plant to creep up your tree and you could be in for a hefty clean-up bill.
Which plants are bad to grow as tree vines?
Whenever you're trying to decide whether a plant will be beneficial in your garden it's best to look at the plant's structur
Vines look great on almost anything and are very low maintenance. This combination makes them great as a garden decoration. Growing vines on a fence or separator can help it blend in with your garden, for example. It doesn't have to stick out so drastically. There are plenty of different types of vines that have different purposes. You can grow vines on the ground, up a tree, or even up the side of your home.If you choose to grow vines on the ground, there are plenty of varieties to choose from. They all grow fast and strong, and are very easy to direct. They can be used as a border around your garden or to weave through your garden. If you want some green over your dirt or mulch, they make great ground cover. If you'll be walking on it, you should seek out a variety that is resistant to that abuse.A "twining vine" is another option. This kind is the type that climbs a lattice or porous surface. They are not sticky, and therefore cannot climb without these holes. The have small tendr

Ray Raposa of Castanets had almost finished his follow-up to First Light's Freeze (2005) when three men in strange masks mugged him at gunpoint in front of his home in Bedstuy, Brooklyn. Stealing Raposa's rent money, iPod and security, the three thieves climaxed a year of depression and nomadic, nocturnal dislocation. Not long after the mugging, Raposa completed In The Vines.If the Castanets' debut, Cathedral (2004) was a road narrative and First Light's Freeze a malaise of longing, In The Vines is an attempt to reconcile the fear of the spaces between the journeys. Says Raposa, "There is a definite rootlessness. Not so much pursuit as just waking up somewhere else, then somewhere else again. I have had to halt production and/or writing and/or thinking about this album repeatedly due to actual, incapacitating depressions. Totally crippling. The bad kind. Off of the road, it's been a pretty bad year."Appropriately, the album he was struggling to complete is based on a Hindu fable a
