I have a potato vine growing in my yard and want to know if it serves a purpose
Can you eat the potatoes from a potato vine?
You may actually have what is called an 'air potato', since you said it grew on a vine. This is considered to be an invasive plant here in Florida. I've heard it is edible, but haven't done so myself.
Reply:Silly , potatoes don't grow on vines,
they grow on trees ,
Reply:sure you can, you just have to prep them the same way as those potatoes that grow in the ground...they are pretty good.
Reply:Potatoes grow underground, not on vines. Only eat them if they seem edible, if they have some distorted color do not eat them unless you have confirmed with someone. Potatoes are a great source of vitamins so I suggest you dig them up and eat them.

Is there any shade lover (or tolerent) flowering vine?
I'd like to cove my under-deck fence with some sort of vine - preferably flowing kind. The only problem is the location can only get a few hour morning sun and full shade for the rest of day. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yes i would use climbing Hydrangia they are very nice and will do a good job for you hope this helps.
Reply:Asian star jasmine, Carolina Jessamine, or Hydrangea.

They work well for me.
Reply:You might consider the climbing Hydrangea vines ...
According to About.com:
http://landscaping.about.com/od/vineplan...
"Outstanding Feature of Climbing Hydrangea Vines: Climbing hydrangeas solve a problem for homeowners with shady areas to plant. Even though they won't flower as profusely if planted in full shade, these shade-tolerant vines provide attractive foliage that can cover quite an area once the plants mature."
And this article from Associated Content claims:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article...
"The leaves are clean and crisp, dark green, and rarely bothered by insect or disease problems. In early summer large, creamy white flowers with a sweet aroma cover the plant. Fall turns the leaves yellow, and when they drop, the woody branches take center stage with their peeling, cinnamon colored bark. More winter interest comes from the interesting "3-D" twists and turns of the stems, adding light and shadow where others vines might grow on a flat plane. The now dark brown dried flower heads usually persist during winter to add even more detail.
The climbing Hydrangea adds value to your garden by giving four season interest."

Reply:Firstly it's very important to mention your Zone rating. Periwinkle (vinca major) does well in shade - and has lovely light blue flowers. This won't climb very high and may die back in Zone 4 or less. Bearberry or Kinnikinnik (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is a hardy groundcover you could entice to be a low vine with some burlap perhaps. There are not too many options as most vines are so as to grow towards the light. However some of the honeysuckle vines will tolerate low light - however don't expect lots of showy blossoms.
I would maybe consider a varigated leafy vine for more dramatic color.
Reply:Don't have full sun?
Don't worry: Few climbers thrive in the dark, but the following climbing vines for shade will do well in spots that don't get a lot of sun.
These vines do a wonderful job of covering fences or hiding unattractive views.
Boston ivy, Virginia creeping and climbing hydrangea are self-clinging, but the other vines need a structural support to grow over.
Reply:Trumpet vine will adapt well and bloom in part shade.

What should I do with an old grape vine?
I have recently moved house and have a mature grape vine in the greenhouse. What should I feed it? When should I prune it? Should I water it?
What should I do with an old grape vine?
Assuming you want it to produce fruit:
You will want to prune them back at the end of the season, as grapes only produce fruit on new growth. You will only need to water it three times throughout the season: at the very beginning of the season, at the time it is done flowering and just starting to grow baby grapes, and at the very end of the growing season.
Reply:Drink it
Reply:Grape vines are pretty easy to grow. Water it if it doesn't rain, you could fertilize it to help it grow fuller, and maybe to also have it produce grapes.
Reply:keep it for future use

Can i make a topiary with a jasmine vine ?
i recently bought a jasime vine and i dont khow what to do with it . i live in a rental so i cannt plant it but i was woundering if i could make a topiary with it?
Can i make a topiary with a jasmine vine ?
Most definately! They are slower to grow than most ivies or phylos, but I had a Madagascar variety that I trained into a huge heart topiary...took about a year. When she bloomed, she filled my whole greenhouse %26amp; gift shop with the most outstanding aroma! Humidity is key with Jasmine...they love warm, and like to be misted regularly...not wet soil, though...just be careful.
Be creative...they are flexible...and enjoy your art piece...she will pay you back a hundred fold!
get well flowers

Where is the best place to "rent a vine"?
I would like to rent a vine and have heard that you can get approx 100 bottles of wine for about £350, but i dont know where from. Can anybody help me?
I would also like to pick the garpes etc.
Where is the best place to "rent a vine"?
I have a half acre would be glad to work with you . I think we can make 200 gallons for personal use.
JUST take a hike over here IN California.
Just joking !
Stick an add in the local paper.
Please get your terminology correct.
You want garden space to erect a vineyard.
And you know all the equipment that is required
Check your local winemakers supplies

Your press will be the most expensive.
Not to forget your bottles.
No worry it takes years to grow a vineyard.
OOOps don't forget the irrigation system.

Ask Danni to find a picture of the Hyacinth bean, aka Lablab purpureus or Dolichos lablab. Or you can Google it yourself.
