A newbies second season - 2016

Merediana · June 11, 2016

Thank you very much... The weather is just crazy right now... 2-3 days of sun and now we'll have another week of rain with around 1-3h sunlight per day

Most plants are still growing like crazy, Orange Russian has reached shoulder height (less than 1 mont after plant out date). The ones that seem to be a bit slower are:
White oxheart (no wonder, it's a late variety, but it honestly has just one single fruit set and it somehow stays tiny), Candy Sweet Icicle and Michael Pollan. The last two are Brad Gates varieties so they aren't made for german climate at all

On the other hand, Barry's Crazy Cherry and Amethyst Cream Cherry are doing just fine.

In german online communities I've already been warned that some Brad Gates varieties aren't doing that great here but I think it's worth giving them a try. And lets remember, it's only june, they still have plenty of time... And till they'll ripen I'll have others to harvest.
