Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggg! I've been in a 15 year battle with grapevines, and I'm not winning. Absolutely the most invasive thing on the property, save dandelions. Even the birds are on their side. I can tell everywhere a bird takes a dump after eating grapes, 'cause up jumps another grapevine. I cut down one way out back that, at the base, was wider than my wrist.

Just give it some more time, Hips. When I wuz a kid, back inna Olden Days, our farm had a peach orchard and a grape orchard. We rented out the pastures for other folks' cows.

Wait!! Before I go further -- I just found a pic of the peach crop. So it was a real peach orchard. The output of the grape orchard was twice that amount Back In The Day.

BTW: Note the chains on the back wheels. Rough stagecoach road.<--TINS Upgraded to graveled when I was a kid. Now paved. Jeez.

Back to why you shouldn't worry:

I went back to the farm ffteen years ago. There is absolutely NO SIGN of either the peach orchard or the grape orchard.

HAH!! I got on a satellite map to find either orchard, and found out that not only is that ONE lane gravel road paved, it has a fargin double yellow stripe on it and is a now TWO-lane highway!! With a fargin Route number!!

O Gawd, I am old. I useta lay in the road for a long time, cuz woodchucks would cross it, and I could peg 'em with my single shot .22

Now it is a fargin highway. O dear. O me. Lookit: That red acreage is was the grape orchard behind the garage you see in the other pic.

So just wait a half-century (mebbe throw in another few years) and the grapes will be all gone.

PS: The red arrow is where I caught a wild chicken. And the HUGE tree by the upper part of the house is a Black Walnut tree. Loved them. The upper part of the house used to be a woodshed. There is a place to hide from Injuns in the center (original) section.

If your pots are on the floor. They're not @72f.... Most thermostats are about 4 foot off the floor. Air stratifies, cold air sinks hot rises. Look at it this way. Your feet are cold and your head is sweating, because the cold air is at your feet. Get them off the floor and they will warm up.
