Lovely! I have tried so hard to establish vines, but I have little success in my short season and harsh sub-arctic climate. I did manage to bring a grape vine through last Winter, so at least I have that. I also was given some wild cucumber sprouts from my neighbour. I have high hopes for that. I need to succeed because I have a large pergola that I need to cover. :-P I do not want to resort to hops.
I can understand in the climate where you live it is difficult to have vine plants as they are mostly for outside, I love wild wine which is typical for Italy with their nice warm climate :)
OH how I wish to live in a climate like Italy. God landed me in the frozen tundra though, so I will have to make do. :-D
