Isabella Madu 2nd Fruiting! (updated 11th July 2012)

Prefer to translate this page?

Ahhh...it's nice to be back after the long 'layoff' from blogging about my grapevine.

Well, let me just go straight to the point with lots of pictures to avoid typing long sentences. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. So here we go, pictures describing millions of words, arranged by the  "latest on top" and followed by the history. For the record, the grapevine was pruned on the 8th Apr 2012.
