How'd I do.... (Nervous)
Comments (7)Murky, After battling the deer for years I finally gave in and fenced the entire property. It is nice no longer having to worry about what got mowed down over night....See MoreApple varieties, how'd I do?
Comments (3)Those are all great varieties that should work out fine for Zone 5. I've got a 3-year-old Sweet 16 that hasn't fruited yet but there are a TON of fruit buds this year. I'm actually grafting half of this tree over to Kingston Black this spring because I want more cider varieties. I already have one branch of Foxwhelp (actually Fauxwhelp, another supposed cider variety) grafted to my Cortland tree and it appears ready to burst with blossom any day now. Seems to be showing a little pink with the green in the buds right now. If so, the Fauxwhelp will be my first variety to bloom this year, followed by Cortland which has the next biggest buds, with Sweet 16 close behind. Macoun is very similar to Cortland so I think that will be a good choice for Zone 5. Nice thing about the McIntosh family of varieties is that you can use them for eating, pie, juice, sauce -- it's all good -- and I find them to be beautifully shaped trees that grow very well in Zone 5 with minimal need for spreading and pruning. You can't say all these things about many other apple varieties....See MoreFall planting - how'd I do? (lots of pics)
Comments (30)PEACE PIPE TIME. and no will know what you put in that pipe. Mike, take it from someone whose remarks are sometimes interpreted as challenging or harsh, take it down a notch with gardeners who are kinda new at this stuff. I've been gardening for 30 years...and never managed to post a picture to prove it....but I'd be pretty upset if someone told me "I did everything wrong." The OP isn't passing himself off as professional and if OP wasted time or money, that's his business. And show me the beginner, intermediate or experienced gardener who hasn't wasted time or money. BTW, I"m assuming those photos are your life's work. Wow! Pretty impressive. Clearly plants are spaced well, and with 20 year growth horizon. But for me, some of the landscapes are not what I'd enjoy for my own use: too busy, not restful. Are you part of that great population of plant collectors? Thanks for sharing your photos. Perhaps you'd consider posting on a new thread so your gardens are buried in the middle of someone else's thread? There's a thread right now on the Perennials Forum called something like "Post your photos". You could post a few or a milion and people would really appreciate the opportunity to see what you've done. Sorry, everyone, for going soooooooooooooooooooo Off Topic. idabean/Marie...See MoreHow'd I do?
