After the wind whipped through here this weekend, I wasn’t sure much of the vines would remain. They were really flouncing around for quite a while. The grapevine didn’t really budge. The peas formed a moving green wall. The birds couldn’t hang on up in the wisteria. I was afraid the abundance of buds would be heading towards Madera.
Better luck next time Madera.
The recent blast of heat in the garden has the tendrils reaching out and grabbing on. I’ve watched the tendrils on the lemon squash grow from a fraction of an inch in the evening to about 3 inches over night. No kidding. All the plants are growing vigorously; but the vines are really making their move.
The tendrils are almost humanlike. I can watch them coil around something within seconds and they really tighten their grip.
There are other types of vines in the garden besides tendrils. That’s for another post at another time.
