I overwintered several varieties of trailing blackberries that I planted in the ground. Siskiyou and Kotata handled the cold well. I really like the Siskiyou blackberries but the Kotata didn't seem to have a lot of flavor. Both of these varieties are growing like crazy this year since the temperatures have been lower and the rain has been consistent. I think my Kotata may have 20ft canes this year though Siskiyou has been even more vigorous. I have added Newberry and Columbia Star this year. My boysenberries suffered a trifecta of vole damage, cane borers, and cold damage. I had to remove a whole 15ft row of them and start over. The few berries I ate off the potted boysenberries were really good if I left them on and get very ripe. The loganberries though, didn't not have a great flavor, in my opinion. I wonder if some of these varieties just don't ripen properly in my climate. The best tasting berry this year was Marion. They had a tough time with the cold but what lived produced excellent tasting fruit. How well did yours overwinter? This post was edited by jtburton on Tue, Aug 5, 14 at 22:44

I just got back from Loch Ness actually, it was an eerie place, but beautiful at the same time. Here is a link that might be useful: Loch Ness Monster

Thank you all for the feedback. I really need to be more patient with my daylilies. Now that I have discovered that I do not need to grow and save every plant on the planet, I can actually let plants move to a new home and not feel bad about it. It took decades to get to that place and now that I am, I can be a little ruthless; plus it is fun to give some away and make someone else happy. Chris, the hosta to the right of Lock Ness Monster is Paradigm. I will be posting a pictures of a new bloom today which will include a little of my Stained Glass hosta. Robyn

noid Webster's Pink Wonder FFlying Dragon poly Seedling from 2019. 16 buds, up from 10 last year. Tall, holds up to the weather. Sibling to the seedling the other day, Indian giver x Siloam Amazing Grace. Only 2 buds. It has a long way to go. Seedling A. This year it has been hard to tell A and B apart. A is brighter and has the halo. I'm caught up on posting. I've seen a few of yours, need to look at more later. Brad
