Grapevine was has grown so much this year and we have had grapes on it for awhile but no sun to ripen them, and I think the poor vine thinks its autumn. Took these pictures today because the leaves look so lovely.
Hope everyones had a lovely bank holiday:)

I lost mine last winter but always thought it looked very attractive when the leaves were changing colour, if you don`t have the grapes the birds will love them...

The leaves are beautiful anyway. Maybe September will be warm and sunny! I admired everyone else last year so bought one in the autumn. It has tiny grapes but I doubt they will taste good.

Thanks Nana - hope your holiday was good - it was on news about the trees and plants confused with the season - they do look nice colour though

Those leaves are lovely, even if they do look autumnal.
I think it's coming early this year.

Hi Bloomer yes it is a shame but there is always next year:) And I hopefully will see lots of birds hope the grapes are ripe enough not to give them tummy ache. On holiday this week had a mooch round a couple of GH's and bought some trailing pansies and a couple of cyclamen going to re do my baskets as they are definitely going over so even if the weather is cloudy I am still having a nice time:))
