Short growing season - sometimes frost in May and again by Sept. compared to about nine months of growing season out there. Sometimes had to pull green tomatoes off the vines at the end of the season here. All you can do is experiment and enjoy!judi.0044https://www.blogger.com/profile/12462757383148983890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-9193560696435835112008-05-18T08:17:00.000-04:002008-05-18T08:17:00.000-04:00Maminator...I like that.Unfortunately, my gardenin...Maminator...I like that.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, my gardening knowledge includes killing tomatoes and cucumbers...and feeding squirrels the seeds I've just planted (argh!).PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160883537054763513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-8800013492762602872008-05-18T02:32:00.000-04:002008-05-18T02:32:00.000-04:00You'll gonna remeber that offspring. ha-ha.You'll gonna remeber that offspring. ha-ha.Raffy Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559589443107491318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-68803920304781451362008-05-18T00:38:00.000-04:002008-05-18T00:38:00.000-04:00How exciting!
