      The Grapevine is doing it's thing, after deciding to take last year off.

      The Blueberrys are a tad slow off the mark though.

      The Hot Chillies are slowly getting there too. 20230709_102308.jpg

                      Fuchsias are difficult to identify @Upsydaisy, there are so many similar ones.
                      Beryl and I used to keep a list of the names because we had so many different varieties (190+) and when we bought new ones we didn't want duplicates. We could take cuttings if we wanted duplicates.
                      Most of them are gone now :frown:
