Tell me what zone five means.
Most of my grapes are hybrids with Midwest parentage.
Elmer Swenson did his work in Osceola Wisconsin, and so the parentage of many of my grapes is probably fairly tough, but not really 'tested' here.

hope you have a super garden this year.smiles

Hey Jackie-T: Hope you remember this - you sent me some Egyptian walking onions back in the spring and also sent along some little packets of seed one of which was butternut squash. Well I planted a few of them and they now have squash which are light green and white striped. Sorry to be dumb but are they supposed to be striped - only ones I have every grown are kind of orange/brown you know the ones I mean. Also just dug my garlic so if you want some cloves let me know - it is german hardneck. thanks for the help.

How did your cuttings do? I will be building the Mars bed and Trellis this fall and get them into the ground.

Hello there

Thanks for spelling it out for me, Jackie-T. We have plenty of fox and wandering cats here. But I'm most concerned about our Lab that, despite her old age, is always looking for a meal. Sounds like you've found ways to minimize critter and pet issues. I'll have to give them a try...if I can catch a few fish.

Hi Jackie,

Saw your post in the thread about subsitutes for Miracle grow and have a couple of questions about using blended fish remains. How much do you dilute it? How do you apply it? Any critter or pet problems? I use bottled fish emulsion on occasion, but might want to give local white perch remains a try.

Hi Jackie - hope the weather is improving for you...I was wondering if you could help me with something? I am needing to know how big the birdhouse gourd and big apple gourd get. I REALLY want to plant them and just need to figure how much room to set aside. I know the probably get pretty good sized - just HOW big, I don't know. Thanks, Marci
