Dahlias and grapes!

The first cuttings are nearly ready for taking on my dahlia tubers 'Frank Holmes', a pom supplied to me by Kev Broxholme. Still no sign of life on my Jomanda or Kenora Sunset.





Meanwhile, an outdoor grape I planted last year has burst into life. I have no idea what to do with this so any advice gratefully received. I was hoping that one day I might get a bunch to go in the 1 veg/1 flower/1 fruit class at Sutton Bonington.

sorry couldnt do you any favours on saturday against the scousers. it becomes difficult when you have the ref on the scousers side. i can help you with kenora sunset though. i have cuttings from the tuber you supplied me with last year. you are welcome to some if yours doesnt produce any

Cheers mate,

Will keep you informed on that. Mine usually start throwing up shoots in early May so I'll give it another week or so.

As for the footy......how the scousers have the gall to say Man U get all the refereeing decisions I don't know! They've been doing it for 40 years!

I think you may well survive though.....Newcastle and Middlesbrough are playing so badly you might not have to pick up another point.
