The grapes that grow on these vines are ornamental; nobody harvests them.
They have yet to do the south-facing wall. You might wonder why there's a five-liter wine "barrel" hanging against the wall. The plastic barrel's top is cut out and fitted with a wire mesh cage, and the barrel is filled with bird seed. It's suspended just above the ground. My guess is that it's there to attract and feed pheasants and probably other game birds, especially during the hunting season. I see a few of these hanging in other spots on the edges of the woods that surround the vineyards, but I've never seen anyone hanging or filling one.
I love it. I thought the barrel was a utility box.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the barrel and the game birds. Geeeeze, the things we'd never think of.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you don't see anyone filling those since they do it while you're cooking one of those delicious lunches you make lol.
ReplyDeleteit is a curious matter and charming
ReplyDeletemitch, no utilities out there, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeletejudy, I'm not so sure that it's fair play, but I'm not a hunter.
evelyn, as long as it's not pheasant! lol
michael, maybe I should call it "curious things around the vineyard?" ;)
