Can anyone help?

I bought a grape vine 6 months ago and have planted it in compost in a large pot (until I can work out where to plant it permanently). It's leaves are now going yellow, starting at the veins and spreading, then dropping off. This is often a sign of a feed deficiency but I don't want to give it any fertiliser if it is just normal autumnal behaviour. Can anyone give me advice?

Jules.

Yes, it wasn't a great decision to plant it in compost, especially the very rich stuff that I used, but it was all I had and needed to get it planted before we went away. That's why I'm worried about giving it even more food if it doesn't need it. Thanks for your feedback.

They are deciduous, so expect leaf colour change gradually over coming weeks.


Your plant won't like frost around the outside of the pot.


Can I suggest you plant it in the ground soon, choosing a rooting site anywhere (can be a cool shady foot of a wall) you can train the new branches towards southerly sunny light, as soon as it begins to regrow in the spring.

A greenhouse / conservatory can have roots of a vine outside, and the main stem is grown through a hole in its wall to give you trellises of grape-bearing branches inside.

Professional growers attend to their pruning system. Good page here => http://www.cornishgarden.com/grapes.html

The main stem of a vine can last 100 years & more, only the top branches are new each year. They are notorious for being extremely tenuous plants capable of thriving even in thin stony topsoil.

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
