First real hardy kiwi harvest
Comments (19)MHG, I've read that hardy kiwi are from northern China and Japan. I'm not sure, but I think the climate would be a lot like ours in the north east. JD, I'm definitely not an expert- just getting started with them. I was able to propagate some from cuttings last June (I've read dormant cuttings don't work well). Now, a year and a half later, they look about like what you would get from a nursery. Rather than starting from cuttings, I'd suggest getting some nursery plants- Rolling River Nursery is a great source. Later, let me know if you want some scionwood to graft some more varieties. Scott, I've had lots of bad ones, but none were ripe enough. From the nursery descriptions, they were all supposed to ripen earlier than mid-October. Some of them I've been sampling 1-2 per week since the start of September. When did you pick yours? If you picked them earlier, even a wrinkled surface may not have been enough to make them taste good. You've got me looking forward to Ken's Red, though it is taking it's time. How much different are the kiwi you grow from the ones in the store? I like the hardy kiwi a lot better than the store-bought fuzzies, even before considering that I don't need to peel them. But, if home-grown fuzzies are great, I should at least give them a try. Here's a pic of what they look like when I eat them. I think the wrinkles is what made some people hesitant to try them...Most of these were 21-23 brix, with one at 24 and one of the smallest ones at 14 (not sure what happened with it). Note- none of these are the biggest- I've already finished most of them :)...See MoreClimbing roses Westerland or Polka or Royal Sunset
Comments (41)Holly I think I got lucky with the 3 icebergs. I had driven down to the large rose supplier to pick up the main roses for my new bed (5 of them) and since I had to use the freeway interchange right by Lowe's, I decided to stop for a pair of Russian Sages since I could not find them locally and they were listed in their ad. There sitting with the roses were a few 1g pots with 3 small icebergs started in them. All were listed as Iceberg-Brilliant Pink-Burgundy. I left the elastic tags on the plants just so I could figure them out later. I think the darkest is a bit close to hot pink, but with so much white they really are Brilliant Pink. I prefer the paler pink but if you are doing a bright colored bed, I think either would be fine. Like many, I have a love hate relationship with Icebergs. I hate that they do so well and are so common-loving the unusual and uncommon. But I LOVE that they do so well, bloom so well, grow so fast, seem to not care where they are planted. The two 1g's I bought last season are just as happy as the rest of the bed, even though they started smaller and do not get the care that the rest of the bed gets (less water-more heat)...See MoreStill wondering if alive or dead - Abelia, euonymus and others
Comments (14)I agree with Ian - because of our so-far very cool spring (predicting snow mixed with rain today!), many plants are slower than typical to wake up from winter. I wouldn't be too quick to make decisions on what's dead or alive......yet :-) And a good number of semi-evergreen shrubs lost most of their foliage in our winter cold.....abelias among them. Also many daphnes. Nandinas exposed to severe abrupt cold - like we had in December - will lose top growth but should sprout from the root crown. I can see new growth appearing on several of mine (oddly, 'Filamentosa' appears totally unaffected!). hemnancy, where are you located that you missed that cold snap right before Christmas, where temperatures plummeted into the single digits in many areas? Or did it just slip your mind :-)...See MoreWhere in Utah are You?
Comments (67)emg84010, What will you and your family eat? What do you know how to grow? Do you have much sun in your yard or mostly shade? I would recommend taking a Square Foot Gardening class (available locally from me and other instructors). Whether or not you choose to use the Square Foot Gardening method you will learn a lot about what, how, and when to grow vegetables and other edibles. Here is a link that might be useful: Square Foot Gardening Foundation...See Morestir_fryi SE Mich
