If I were in a short season area, I'd have a greenhouse too! Actually, I'd like to have one here, but there just isn't room for one without giving up a lot of valuable garden space.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-42554663229643799392012-06-29T18:36:33.294-07:002012-06-29T18:36:33.294-07:00I am from outside Seattle, Wa. it is not warm eno...I am from outside Seattle, Wa. it is not warm enough the last several yrs. for us to have a garden.

I think it may be because they needed to be watered much more than I have done. Or the heavier soil. It's probably a learning curve somewhere around here. :)The Stay @ Home-Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102175625149771801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-66034945896717084042012-06-27T12:24:43.263-07:002012-06-27T12:24:43.263-07:00Jody, the kind I have grow on second year canes. ...Jody, the kind I have grow on second year canes. The ones that will bear fruit next year are just now growing and getting quite tall. As soon as this year's crop stops bearing, probably mid July, I'll cut those old canes completely down to the ground (new canes are green, old canes are brown and woody). I pruned my new canes too short last fall, so I'm not getting nearly as many berries as I should. It's a learning experience for me, too. These are the first summer bearing plants I've ever grown, at my other house I grew everbearing.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-49475811800936011332012-06-27T11:43:50.774-07:002012-06-27T11:43:50.774-07:00Granny, you rock!

I doubt they'd go far at a food bank. When I have lot of extra tomatoes they go to our local low income housing complex.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about nematodes based on one two-legged carrot.
