I have something growing in my flower garden that looks like wild grape leaves?

It has five sections, the bottom of the leaf is smooth and the top feels like valor. By sections I mean from the stem the veins branch out five ways, This has tendrils. I want to know if it is safe because I want to make stuffed grape leaves. Thank You

To be on the safe side, take a cutting to a nursery and find out for sure what it is. If it is a grape plant, ask them how to grow it successfully.
Reply:At a guess, it sounds to me more likely Hops . Make some beer instead?


Funnily enough, I have two self seeders of tendrilly climbers, but the leaves are smooth and three pointed. No intention to eat them! But if you send a leaf or two and a tendril to the Natural History Museum (London) Botany Department, they will identify it for you....thats what I intend to do with mine.
