  3. Thank you. :) Yes, that's grapevine over the entrance. It is going crazy this year. I didn't really train it properly and now I see why I should have. :D It is producing grapes though. We are harvesting but I got our garden in really early. Our winter was so mild that I was pretty sure it was safe to get a jump on it.
