Do fruit crops do best in higher or lower elevations + etc.
Comments (1)Theres not a lot of difference there Steve. The Japanese persimmons won't like the first location much whereas they will probably be fine in the second. The cherries on the other hand will prefer the cooler weather of the first location. Overall, things like microclimate, cost, etc seem like bigger factors unless you absolutely have to have some Japanese persimmons. Scott...See MoreI want the best for my hellebores, so what do I do?
Comments (1)What type of heelbore are they? I have added a link to a previous thread here that was very informative (maybe to much information) But these people are growing hellebores in zones similar to yours.

Comments (150)Fran, I have that plant, you should have told me that you wanted it. I have a small baby and seeds. I think I sent some to Tracy last week. Tracy, did I send you them?? Becky, The soil that was in the photo was just very dry and I screened with a 1/2 inch screen to get out any large rocks. The pups are almost seven months old and they are brothers. They do run through my flower beds and have created a few large messes for me. I just got an electric fence to keep them out even though they are a lot better now! As far as getting them to sit for pictures. I was home from work for 3 months when I brought them home. I did what I call puppy school everyday, they are very smart and will work for food. LOL Shirley, If I had thirty beds, my beds wouldn't look like they do. I garden on about 13,000 square feet, some town owned but it is pretty much my street. I am the only house so they said I could do as I please. Denise and Becky, I have seeds for the champion pink campanula. I did a bit of research and they can be tricky to germinate but I will send you some if you want them. I have a few of the purple color too! Sassy, Thank you for the compliment on my beds! I do try. Where's Pat, Carmine and Annie???? Daniel, welcome to the petal pushers. I don't blow things up like Tracy but I have been known to hog tie someone"Tracy> in the basement. Kat, I hope your shoulder is feeling better. here's a few pics of my gardens Becky tobucket.com/albums/vv319/gardenpics09/garden012.jpg" border="0" alt="long hot of street garden"> That's it for now.

Comments (1)John, I, also tend to work at night. Because I was working full time at a garden center, my first book, The Cape Cod Garden, was written between the hours of 8 PM and 1 AM. But even in the winter when I'm not in the nursery I tend to be out in the world during the day, and in my office at night. I have a friend who for years was an emergancy room doc who worked at night. When I asked him why he prefered that shift, he said that when he was growing up he found that only at night was it possible to have the house be "his".... and in much the same way the hospital was also his at night. Fewer people, no administrators, not as many distractions etc. The inernet makes it even easier for night owls... no waiting for the public library to open for research! C.L....See Morediane_nj 6b/7a
