Vieve's Georgics

...the banks all green with celery, the endive rejoicing in a rivulet; the cucumber snaking amidst the grass and swelling to greatness... (Virgil's Georgics IV:120, trans. C. Day Lewis)

Greg's vine support


My brother Greg came round yesterday to build a vine support for me outside my back door. He did it in the time it took me to make him a salad. The packet of vine eyes I bought from Wickes which I thought contained 10, contained only 9, and on closer examination, the packet said "approx. 10"!
The grapevine has already curled one of its tendrils around the wire.
