A photo from last season showing three things. First, a shading set-up that seems to work well, and can withstand 15 mph gusts of wind. Since I can't pound stakes into my patio to make a sturdy shade, this was my solution to make shade over my plants that can be moved around, and also be able to sway with the breeze. Second, SVB got my plants last year, and you can easily see the decimated region of the main vine where all the leaves are gone. The last point is that the distant region of the plant is still alive despite the SVB damage, fed via the nodal root systems. Thanks for reading!
