RE: Grapes to Glass Tour at the Bull Run Winery: Market Friday: Part One

Isn't that interesting? Aphids can be a real problem, so that is handy-dandy. In this area of the country, you have to watch out for mildew, which is weird as we don't get an overabundance of rain.

I am all about multiple-use items.

Wine tastings are fun! Part two will cover the tasting of the vino! Normally they do 4-6. We got 8! It was pure heaven. I hope you go to your wine tasting soon! We have 300 vineyards/winerys in the state. There is a wine trail that you can follow. :) Fun game!

Thanks for stopping in and leaving your words.

#MarketFriday loves you!

I plant nasturtiums in my garden to attract Sophia and a particular small black beetle. They absolutely cover the stems of some which appear to save others. Tis handy!

I saw that huge number of em. You are quite lucky to have the climate to suit the growing. Hopefully lots of them do the tastings!

They all do tastings! I think I will be busy for the rest of my life. Maybe longer. It is definitely a good state that way. Mountains, Ocean, Capitol of the country and steeped in History.

And then the climate. Bonus!!

That is really handy with the nasturtiums! I had never heard of that! That is very handy!

It is good to have a life long hobby that you will never tire of!

I found it out by accident with them. I was growing them for their flowers and the leaves for salads and the like and one day I noticed that the stalks were thick with black aphid looking things. So thick I thought the stalks had actually turned black. Then obviously I screamed when I touched a stalk with my hands and there were a million bugs. Since then I have planted them all over!

OMG!!! I have dreams like that, except I am awake!

Then obviously I screamed

I think only a moron wouldn't!!!! I mean millions of bugs!!! No lie! I would have a yard full of them. I did not know that about the nasturtiums. I really like them too.

I know what I need next year!!!

Thank you, Boomie! @meesterboom
