Does anyone grow ranunculus for cutting?
Comments (17)Steve, Do you subscribe to Growing for Market? We wrote an article titled, "Dahlias All Summer" in the September 2007 edition. It is still available to order on the link I have provided. So, to answer your question. Yes, there are definitely varieties that have longer stems. And, there are techniques that can be used to promote long stems. We grow a in a hightunnel/hoophouse from which we start harvesting toward the end of May. These take us up to the time our field crops start producing. And, actually, at that time, we are cutting from both the hoophouse and the field. The dahlias in the hoophouse go from this: To this: To this: In the field they go from this: To this: To this: I cannot believe it is overcast in Virginia. We have family in the Richmond area. Sorry about your weather. But, honestly, we need a break from all the overcast and snow we have had this year. Trish...See MoreIs anyone snowed in?
Comments (3)Not a lot - two or three inches, but that is plenty to snow me in. I may burn a brush pile later if it will burn. I have been waiting for snow to do it because I don't want to set a grass fire. I postponed Honey's appointment to get a booster shot so I have no reason to be on the roads. He is quite a character not a good boy but he makes me laugh all the time....See MoreBRRRRR it's cold
Comments (3)It's raining and around 60 F here now , I found it odd that one nursery had Adeniums and Pachypodiums out in the rain . Although they are in full leaf , it'll be interesting to see if they made it through the past two days of constant rain . All my plants are tucked either under the patio awning or under plastic tables with plastic clear tarps . With the exception of my winter growers , ie Pelargonium and aloes ....See MoreBrrrrr! Pretty cold out there, too cold?
Comments (16)I'm new to the whole wintersowing thingie, so I'm just trolling around looking to see what people are saying about setting containers out in this cold. Looks like it will be OK? I'd started 14 containers back last month, but, of course they're under snow and I won't have a clue as to how successful they may be for quite a while yet. However, I just received some dynamite seeds in the mail from a GW friend - many of which need cold treatment. My normal method in the past would have been to stick them in the fridge for a month or so and then sow under lights, but now I'm thinking maybe I should wintersow these as well. Things like different kinds of asclepias, penstemons, and larkspur. No rain in our forecast, prairiemoon, just more snow and maybe some more minus temps, though hopefully we're past the minus 20's now. Whew! Any words of wisdom to add, anyone? - Alex...See More- 7 years ago
