wow, Claud, that was a very interesting movie -- I only wish I could read more French than "mise en place," which I know from the cooking shows... I'm wondering if the variety shown near the end, "Roi Humbert" is the same as the "Umberto" that I grew last year ?? I also have to think that the growing season in France is a lot different than mine..
I did understand (even without being able to read the language) the pruning, and I believe I will be a bit more aggressive with that this year... I'll probably try pruning every other plant or something so I can compare the difference.
really appreciate the input !!
