Is the lack of space stopping you from growing fruits in your garden? We have compiled a List of Fruits That Grow on Vines and will easily thrive around your yard fences, arbors, or pergolas. Some will even thrive in pots and can be trained on trellises.
A vine romance

Last Sunday I wanted to buy some wooden planters for the vines, so that they can clamber up the arbour, so we set off on a bit of a garden centre ‘crawl’ to find what we wanted – for them to fix to the arbour they had to be within a certain size range. And to fit within the budget they had to be within a certain price range…
The first garden centre was a complete bust. We barely saw any pots, let alone wooden planters. On our way to the second garden centre we got stuck in traffic, and then Ryan got called into work and we had to give up. I spent some time investigating options on the internet, and when Ryan came home we settled on two 26” classic teak stain wooden planter troughs from Amazon, made from FSC wood. They arrived on Tuesday.
We’re hoping the stain will fade to a colour more similar to the arbour; if it doesn’t then we’ll paint both at some point in the future. I’m not the biggest fan of the finials, but other than that they’re nice enough and large enough for the vines without taking up too much of the end of the garden.
Ryan fixed them onto the arbour on Saturday morning, and stapled in the heavy duty liners they came with.
On Sunday morning I filled each planter with a mixture of enriched top soil and multipurpose compost, and planted the vines. On the left (as seen from the house) is the Pinot Noir.
On the left is the Lakemont. I watered both planters; I’ll give them a bark chip mulch in due course.
Whilst I was outside I topped up the bed from which I harvested the shallots last weekend, with a bag of farmyard manure, one of peat-free compost and the last of the enriched topsoil, and planted out the flower sprouts – essentially a sort of Brussels sprout that grows tiny tufts of kale and cabbage rather than

Munching Madeira vine
A couple of weeks ago I was talking about my Madeira vine (Anredera cordifolia), which was a gift from a friend and lives on the (north-facing) kitchen windowsill. I’m not quite sure how long I’ve had it, but it’s happy there and sends out quite a volume of climbing, leafy shoots. Occasionally it gets out of hand, and I cut it back.

Vines, shallots, flower sprouts and interesting weeds
The new grapevines I ordered (from Victoriana Nursery Gardens) arrived last week. The planters for them should arrive this week…. I want the vines to grow over the arbour, and we’ve chosen a pair of wooden planters that can be fixed to the arbour, so that the whole lot can be moved together should the need ever arise. The vines are going to be long-term residents of the garden, after all. It won’t be too long before I can enjoy cooking with vine leaves, although a decent crop of seedless dessert grapes might take a little longer.
