Yes! We have a grapevine :-) I bought this some time last week for Jason. He's mentioned a few times that we should buy one and when I saw these at the grocery store last week I decided to get one. Who knows if we'll be able to keep it alive - what with our track record for growing things! But it will be fun trying. I don't intend to be making wine from it either, I thought it would just be fun to see how big it got and how big the grapes actually got. When I told my 'mil' about it she asked if we could actually eat the grapes from it? I thought you could eat ALL grapes but apparently not.
This is a Sauvignon Blanc grape, and I'm not even sure if it will be good for eating? I'll certainly try one when they look ripe. We are thinking of buying a trellis/arbor of some sort to plant it next to. Need to get that pretty soon as I don't think 'Marvin' will want to stay in his pot for too much longer. Ha ha, I just came up with that name for it - just saying the word grapevine reminds me of the song by Marvin Gaye (hence the title of this post), so 'Marvin' it is. I'll keep you posted on his progress ;-)Not much going on that I can blog about really. It's a windy but sunny and hot day (92). My housework is done, thanks to my guests that came this week ;-) Just doing a little laundry and finishing off some knitting for a baby shower I'm going to in a couple of weeks. Jason is working from home today so the house is not entirely my own, but it's still quiet! Hope you're all having a wonderful day.... and yay, it's Friday again tomorrow!

Hey D! I like the name for the grapevine - hee hee. He looks like a Marvin I think ;-)
We're so glad we could help with your housework this week ... our pleasure!
I am trying to resend the pics - hopefully they'll come through this time. I'll keep trying until I hear you've got them!
I still need to blog about our visit... it's just finding the time to get myself together ;-)
Love ya xo
P.S. Let me know when those pics get through!
I hope Marvin won't be too hard to train up or keep alive LOL. I didn't know you couldn't eat all grapes either. I guess it depends on how tart they are. Grapes are sweetest when they get the that yellowy green stage rather than just green. Give them a try though, I'll be interested to know how they taste.
My dh bought me a lovely new laptop last night, so yipee, I have a new toy! It's powerful with lots of room, DVD burner, webcam,slot for my camera card... so I'm a happy camper.
Hope you have a really lovely weekend. Big hugs. xx
