What are your most prolific Austins? OR similar style non-Austin?
Comments (29)THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has replied so far, This has been very helpful. I love that so many of you took he time to reply, and I also am excited to hear that I already have a few of the varieties that are mentioned here- some multiple times (Golden Celebration, Lady Emma, Darcy Bussell, Jubilee Celebration) they are still so young I haven't been able to tell anything about their blooming habits for sure yet. AnnTn, I live in a suburban area very close to an urban downtown area, so my yard is pretty small, I don't have room for many giant species of rose (although I'm constantly trying to make more room) my soil is heavy, sticky clay, but my flower beds have been amended so many times, I don't know how much of that is still in there, and if my hydrangeas are any indication it is very alkaline. Most of my available space at the moment is mostly sun with some dappled shade, but as soon as the sidewalk that is In planning stages gets built, I will build my fence, and then I will have more full sun space available, but I'm waiting until the sidewalk and fence are done to plant near the very front of my yard (some of the sunniest territory) I don't want the roses to get messed with during the construction process, I would hate to get into an altercation with a construction worker ;)...See MoreWhat is your most reliable bloomer you don't dead head?
Comments (17)Thanks everyone! I have a Monsieur Tillier (Tea) I will likely move to this area since he has become too big for his current location. Others I have considered are Sally Holmes and Perle D'or. Mutabilis is a possibility too. I currently have all 3 of these growing in 15 gal. cloth pots waiting for me to decide the best place to put them. I move them around to see how they do in a spot before I finally decide to plant them in their new home. Sometimes I suffer from "Paralysis of Analysis" because I dread having to dig them up and move them (like M. Tillier) once they have settled into a home and established a good root system. I fret I will kill them. I have Grandmother's Hat and her sport Larry Daniels ready to plant in their new locations I've chosen for them. Also, Le Vesuve, Mrs. B.R. Cant, Madame Antoine Mari and Madame Lambard (aka. Lombard) are ready to go into the ground this fall....See MoreYour Most Prolific Heirlooms?
Comments (50)Hi Sharonie - To say we have a GH would totally understate the effort to grow tomatoes in Zone 3 and have them ripe by first part of June - especially where our GH is not heated. But to simplify - we planted the seeds the end of January under lights in our home - planted the seedlings in the GH the 10th of March - covered the seedlings with frost blankets using light bulbs under the frost blanket to keep them warm at night when outside temps were below zero and GH temps were below 25 (then uncovered them when sunny during the day) - then when the plants were too large to keep them covered with a frost blanket we ran a space heater on nights when OS temps dropped below 32 degrees - there you have it - it worked and we are enjoying wonderful ripe tomatoes now! our Brandy Boy hybrid was the first to ripen - but they are not considered a heirloom - they are awesome! Our German Giant heirlooms are now starting to ripen and we will try our first in a couple of days. Next year we may delay planting seeds two weeks but choose to wait until season end to make that decision. The photo below shows our Brandy Boys....See MoreName your most prolific hippies by seeds or offsets
