I drove 5 hours to a man we all know as Appleman's house today and stole all his Black Currant bushes! Just kidding, he and I dug them up as with all the vines he is tending to its hard to imagine that he even has time to sleep at night and also make a living. I was originally going to gran all 15 of his plants but when I got there and we started digging, thats right he even helped me(Thank god) we discovered that quite a few had branched out in the last year and I ended up with 20 or maybe more as we werent counting. It was a long drive back and fourth and maybe I could have just bought the plants locally and maybe saved a buck but heck it was a chance to fib=nally meet Rich! He is a damn good man with a lot of wine going on and while in the winery I could barely hear him talking over this one Brute full just super sizzling away!
I would take some pics but the ride took all the leaves off on the way home but Rich assuered me thats fine. They are not looking pretty and I have to cut them down 1/3 in size also from what Rich tells me to help them do better from cutting some of the roots. Thanks Rich1 We also exchanged some wines and itll be nice to finally try Rich's wines that he slaved over!
