plaintiger:Well I get the same satisfaction just walking out my back door and picking straw,black,blue,gooseberries. The only one I haven't had to much success with is cran berries, poor little bush doesn't want to get off the ground.

plaintiger: Try a nursery for thornless blackberry, I've got one growing and the person I got it off just has his growing in a cylindrical 6"wire mesh. It's about 6 feet tall and apart from the birds he does all right. My one grows alond a boundary fench

ajtgirl:I agree with it taking a couple of years for perennials to get established. But I've always put it down to the grower raising the plants in the best possible conditions, to have the best plants for sale, and then when you get them home they are shocked into the real world. LOL

Asunto: Re:
plaintiger: I think you first have to identify which type of bamboo you might. It's a grass so most soils will be ok. It can be very invasive. Though there are some that don't sucker.

Asunto: Re: strawberry plants over winter
amandalove:I'd leave the stawberries alone and when they start to flower next spring then place straw around and under them to prevent bugs eating them, thats if the birds leave you any.

DanDanDan: I'm not an expert either, but firstly are they the fruiting cheery type not flowering cherries. I haven't had to prune mine but it's only 2 years old. Last year we only got a dozen or so cherries but it's laden this year. Also could be the variety might need a pollinator, Hope this helps.

Rose: I've tied a paper bag over the end and when they have finally died off you can then cut the flower head off and all seeds should have been caught in the bag.

Asunto: Re: Hey Rose.. way to go girlie.. :)
Foxy Lady:I know I'm not rose, bulbs usually just put in with sawdust or woodshavings and kept in a cool place is usually good enough. Tulips are the only bulbs I've heard of being put into the fridge

Asunto: Re:
BerniceC:I've found previously if you try growing from seed that have been in the fridge, the success rate isn't that good. I suppose a lot depends on how cold your fridge is set

Asunto: Pawpaws
Bernice, do you cut your pawpaws tops off? I heard that if you do that they branch and won't grow any taller. Oh a tin can is placed on top of the trunk to stop water getting into the trunk.

Asunto: Re: Re:
Foxy Lady:only problem with a warmer climate is that there are more bugs that want to help you eat all that lovelly fruit. Better to stay in a cooler climate, you get to keep a little more fruit.

Asunto: Re:
nobleheart:Some varities do but you will find that most don't. I've got 2 varities brown turkey & mrs williams and they don't need the wasp. But you'll find plenty of wasps around if the fruit is left to rippen as they go for the sweet flesh.

Rose: As the name suggests they love water and will even grow semi-submerged. Need to be cut back and tidy'd up after flowering, acid soil gives blue flower heads and alkaline gives red flowers or visa versa. lol

Thanks Nev Nake & Bwildman, but I don't think it's practical to put fish bones, heads etc into pots. I'm actually trying to get cuttings going in pots to transport to another property

I've been told that honey applied to cuttings acts as a rooting horemone. My question is has anybody ever tried this, and if so how successful was it?

Asunto: Re: fall--- transplanting trees
Definetly better to wait until leaves have fallen, you can also loosen dirt on 2 sides and then a few days later move the tree, less stress this way.

Could it be it's been in the pot to long and is now pot bound?
