vine leaves

Another food related one- my friend makes lovely stuffed vine leaves and always gives me a tub of them whenever she's made some, and won't take anything from me for them. I'd thought I'd maybe give her an actual vine so she can use fresh leaves, so can you eat any vine leaves or are there particular varieties for eating rather than grapes?

It is normally Grape leaves, because of the size and that they are of course edible. You could of course use Cabbage or Sorrel.

If you want loads of info on vines, try the national collection of outdoors vines

Am experimenting with some of the early varieties up north; the owner was very helpful. Originally I was only after wine leaves by the way

Takes two three years to get grapes, but should have lots of leaves in year 2.
