We had a fox chew through our established passion flower at the base last year. It's back and has grown the full length of our fence this year. They are tough buggers.
Currently in Crete where there are a few local strays which are looked after by the locals. This is Meetzo. He is fed by the restaurant we were in last night. Apparently he only eats lamb, oh also he's fucking huge.
Had an amazing private tasting of Cretan wines at Oinoxoos House. We tried red, whites, a port style and a non sweet Muscat. The standout was the Dafni which tastes like nothing I've ever had before, super herbaceous.
You can but it'll take a while to grow into a full blown scoby. I have a couple now that are quite big and can be halved if you're after one.
