Here is another shot on the very right is the one that is from 2003 (one vine). I have some occasional yellowing and dropping of leaves that I find around base when I add my alfalfa tea, but not alot of bugs, I do find daddy-long-legs in there when I am poking my nose in. Wonder if you are right about the new cement? never thought about that??? Maybe I will get some ants later on when they start sniffing my buds then I will have to really keep an eye out that they don't eat all those lovely buds!
