Best U.S. area to live in, for growing OGR's?
Comments (18)I think any place is the best place for the OGRs that thrive there. It might seem like each place doesn't have a large selection, but it's a fact that SOME old garden roses (more than you probably think) grow well everywhere. I'm simply amazed and blessed that Chinese roses came from a climate similar to mine!! Miraculous, I think. Once we get over the envious zone pushing I think we can glory in whatever is happy in our area. And since Chinese roses (and their derivatives) are pretty impervious to blackspot, I would say that MY state is the best because we don't have JBs, but we do have thrips and stinkbugs and nematodes. Oh, well, so much for my opinion. Now which state is the best for companion plants is a whole nother question, and I'm sad to say it ain't Florida. Sherry...See MoreBest Blueberries for S.

Comments (2)Good to know, hoovb. And I have the same problem here with the birds. And have trouble with other varmints - rabbits, ground squirrels, mice and roof rats. Way, way too many rodent-types out here. Very hard to keep any fruit for myself, except lemons and limes. Patty S....See MoreBest Pear Varieties for S. California
Comments (5)Patty, how's the Seckel doing? I just picked up one yesterday and I'm not sure it'll produce fruit in Poway. You're closer to the coast than I am so if your Seckel is producing fruit then mine should too. Besides the Seckel I picked up Hosui and 20th Century asian pears. I'm planning on planting all three of them in one hole. None of them have fire blight on them but I saw some flordahome pears at the nursery covered in FB. Supposidly the European pears are more vulnerable to FB than the Asian pears but Seckel is supposed to be resistant and it's also #1 in the European pear taste tests according to Dave Wilson so I went ahead and bought it. BTW, I got my tree at Hidden Valley Nursery in Alpine. It's in a 15 gallon container and was only $37.50. They have a good variety up there and cheap prices. Their 4-in-1 trees in 15 gallon containers is $59... I almost bought one of those as well :)...See MoreRecord warmth and heat in coastal California this week...
Comments (12)It's been incredibly warm during the day here in So. Cal. I'm sure everyone is aware of the the terrible fires here, the O.C. and in Santa Barbara. Hot Santa Ana winds during the day. But the night cools down fast. With nights now in the middle 50s. We regulary have the Santa Anas this time of year. But the heat has persisted for a long time. Today, it was still 90 degrees in Downtown LA. Even along the coast it's been warm. However, we expect the marine layer to move in. But it's weak. Still kept at bay by the on shore winds....See Morefruitnut Z7 4500ft SW TX
