Grape vines for saleHi , we have taken over the National Collection of vines from Brian Edwards - he continues to advise us - and we have taken cuttings that are available for sale for despatch mid November.We also provide bare wood cuttings for you to propagate yourself - and thereby making the full collection available ( all 500 or so varieties !) to anyone interested. see www.sunnybankvines.co.uk and feel free to email me if you have any questions about growing vines - a year in I have learnt a lot, including going on the Plumpton course and if I get stuck Brian is on the end of the phone to help. cheers, Sarah , Sunnybank Vine Nursery , Herefordshire |

Excellent news, welcome on board. I'd been worried about what would happen when Brian retired (I bought 27 cultivars off him a couple of years ago). |

Great ! thanks for the welcome ! I hope they are growing well - and I am always interested in how varieties perform in different parts of the country - so if you do have time I would be interested in hearing how they are performing .. good and bad ... cheers, Sarah |

Unfortunately what Brian delivered differed from what I ordered, and then I never got round to recording what I planted where, and then I relied on Brian's labels being permanent marker, and then we lost about 4 of them....
So no good at all. There's another of Brian's customers (James) here and he's much better than me, hopefully he'll pop along soon with something useful. |

thanks for letting me know - I have done that with potatoes ,plant them put labels ( non perm) and NOT written my usual veg plot map - and yes - forgotten which was which !
I look forward to hearing from James ! cheers, Sarah |
