Leaves

Two grape and one sycamore leaf from the woods.  Is it possible to successfully graft domesticated grape varieties onto wild grape vines?  Would that take a lot of nurturing, or would they eventually grow on their own?  These are questions I sometimes have.

I've got to have a few pesky basal cells removed from my nose Thursday.  In honor of that great occasion I'm taking a few days off from blogging.  However, if the double feature of "Invaders from Mars" and "The Crawling Eye" fails to entertain, or I otherwise get bored sitting around the apartment, a whole lot of pictures may start appearing here and on Flickr as I try to work through the backlog of photos.

The crawling eye--what a great movie! If I remember correctly it stars Forrest Tucker.

Yes, it was one of his finest movies - an alien that's nothing but a giant eyeball and tentacles hides in a fog and terrorizes a town in the Swiss Alps.

Hope your recovery is speedy...

Wish I could help you with your grapevine question. My grandfather used to grow various varieties of grapes for both wine making and to use the leaves in cooking (Dolmas, etc), but I'm not aware of all his secrets.
