Comments (3)Yes, I agree with Al... I'm just a bit north of you in Albany (Berkeley) and I leave mine in year round and they come back just fine. They get water just like everything else because I usually have other things planted on top of them. Amanda 'romando'...See MoreWANTED: Anyone in Santa Cruz area - veggie trade.
Comments (0)I just got a greenhouse for Christmas and got carried away with my seed planting. I planted way too many winter squash plants and now have 36 of just butternut. I also have some buttercup and spaghetti that have sprouted. I might have some turban, and kabocha in a week or so. I can transfer them to six packs for the trade. I would like to trade for other six packs of veggies. I am open to anything. Thanks. Clare...See MoreSeaweed-Santa Cruz Area

Comments (6)ROYAT, Roses of Today and Yesterday, seems to be near you and might give you some input about local conditions relevant to roses. I am on the southern edge of the Central Coast at Gaviota and a few miles from Point Conception. Much of March through early July can be gloomy. But, at 900 ft or so the fog goes quickly in late July through October with some days in the low 90s. I do grow a number of Austins. Actually, I was surprised when I checked after reading your post at just how many there are - they must have snuck in when I wasn't looking. Anyway, I have good luck with Golden Celebration, Jude, Munstead Wood, Diamond Jubilee, Claire, LDB, WS 2000, TDL, BB, Charlotte, Bishops Castle, CPM, Happy Child, Huntington, PAK, SA, LofM, Young Lycidas, Windermere, and two new young ones, Heathcliff and Boscobel which are both doing well. Tradescant, Portmerion, Lady Emma Hamilton, a favorite, Pat, another favorite, Alnwick, Ambridge, Prospero, Othello, and Abraham Darby are all rusty ones and need more water. Fallstaff is stingy with blooms at the end of 6 ft wands. That said, I have moved for the most part to own root and OGRs for the future and will be choosy in replacing when need be. Own root plants don't give me the root stock suckers and with a need to conserve the ground water our well draws upon, the OGRs I've trended toward have less water needs....See Morebahia
