It has been cold this year so we are a little bit behind.

6A and 10A, but most my growing is done in the 6A region.
6a and 10a? Can you explain this please? Do you have two different locations?

Yes, sorry. Florida and Missouri. But my real growing season is in Missouri.

6A at times
1B at other times
Hey, it's the mountains
Stuff happens
The growing 'season' is said to be 4-8 weeks
Haven't seen the 8 week season yet...or the 6 week one
Raspberries seem to do great
...and root crops
Rhubarb too
Tomatoes?
Need to discover how to prepare their blossoms (that's all we get)

Along with that, need a heater for nights
A guy down the path does just that
Propane gets expensive
Kinda defeats the purpose

There's a farm across the way from me. They sell to the public, do lots of stuff with herbs, give classes to the public on all sorts of stuff. They have some type of wood stoves in their "greenhouses." Short little things for efficiency, you can't fully stand up in the middle. I've never walked to the end to see if these are special wood stoves. They gotta be for the small square footage.

I'm in the middle of Virginia.
We had frost Monday and Tuesday nights. Not horribly late in the year for it, but we're usually good before Mother's Day.
Yeah, there's ways
If I had to, I'd do it.....find a way
Not in my wheelhouse
Not much of a care for giving time to it
I'd much rather eat root crops.....berries...…...and wild meat

Try using a Q tip, paintbrush or even Mrs. O's toothbrush to pollinate the blossoms of the plants by hand.
Check YouTube for many short videos on the subject.
Oh, they pollinate OK
They jus' don't do so well at 15°F in June/July
We've actually yielded some tomatoes,
but my lady gets discouraged when most seasons will take whatever you think yer growin, and turn it into mush

Well, this is old data. Other info puts us between 5 and 6. Lake Erie is a big influence. So far, we have had very late snows and frosts this spring ... but, things are definitely starting to stir!
I think there are ways around using a heater.
You ‘ll think of something.

I am in 6a and 6b. They overlap one another. Depends on what one is planting.
