You suggest Hollands hope, and early girl for such conditions? I might buy a pack of lowryder auto's just to give em a go, and if they work well then I guess Ill do 100 of them lol. You're right homegrowen is the best.



Thanks sunbiz. I intend on bringing in my own premixed soil to the site, after I dig out 2 feet where I intend to lay them and see if theres more soil down there, If there is, I will let them grow into it, if not Im diggin 5 5foot holes lol.

Yea Im pretty sure no one will find my crop as I am in the middle of nowhere. (Knocks on wood). Last year I remember our greens being frosted in late september, we get frost in august if we're having a bad summer.

So will the frost 100% kill my hashberry cross? She has purple genetics in her so I think she'd be able to deal with a tempature fluxuation, just not sure how the plant its self reacts to frost because Ive never done outdoor.

Thanks guys, appreciate you giving me all the info I need! :jointsmile: :hippy:
I'll let you know on the frost issue after we have one tonight here. I did an intentional experiment to see if 2 different varieties can survive by transplanting outdoors in 80 degree weather...tonight will be down in the 20's.

If I lose them, no biggie...I have lots.:thumbsup:

Also, I abandoned the fishing line technique in favor of using fallen tree limbs. Fishing line stands out like a sore thumb in the sunlight. It's effective, but risky if any people traffic come through...particularly hunters with scopes. Besides, fishing line isn't going to stop a 1,200 Lb. Caribou. You'll need a sturdier barrier anyways.
