I am not a gardener. I plant stuff, but don't expect much. This year is an anomaly. I have a 4' x 12' area I have planted a lemon tree, a pomegranate, some sort of a seedless grape vine (thompson?) and cape honeysuckle. It all just overlaps and the lemons and pomegranates do fine and I harvest what I care about. The grape vine has been forgotten for years and just intertwines with the other trees and does essentially nothing. I think I must have hacked back the grape vine in Jan/Feb for some reason because I actually got a harvest of grapes just now. They are small, yet sweet and I probably got about 5-ish lbs. Anything over 7' high and too hard to untangle from the lemon and pomegranate are angel's share for the birds. I'm pretty chuffed about eating backyard grapes.
