Lol .. I was hit by the MG Virus years ago .. it took just one, Double Blue Picotee with the mutant genes and I was hooked and have never looked back. I grow a minimum of 20 different cultivars/species each year .. Because of a severe rust problem I've been fighting for 4 years I finally said no more and had to think up a new way to grow bunches in virgin territory. Every other place I've grown them is infected with the rust spores and there is really no way to get rid of them since the spores aren't in the soil but in the surrounding area. I used to grow them in caged containers with a pot in a pot so each year all I had to do was lift the old pot and plop in a new one, a split rail fence and 3 large containers with pvc frame. Everything I'm using for the MG arches is brand spanking new so hopefully no rust spores are present.
Since the Passiflora isn't affected by this rust I'll turn the frame fence and cages over to them.
Here are pictures of the cages and frame & one end of the Split Rail
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
