My dad is the gardener in the family. He planted some fruit trees several yrs ago.
His plum trees have gone 'wild' this year. So many, that its literally breaking the limbs. We been giving them away in buckets at work and been 'jamming' them up in jars. We got one of those weekend markets, and he was able to 'trade' for other produce and stuff. No telling what the figs will do, as they been few to none. As for tomatoes, he decided to go with 'raised beds' His have grown over 8ft tall and keeps them tied to the cages and a trelace so they don't fall and break. I have not heard of these 'c,hocolate cherry', maybe my dad has, but we live in Georgia, so I don't know about the soil/sun factors on them. We did pick a few cherry of our own. The family likes the big boys. My dad also tried doing a berry garden, think the birds got most of it, he has since put a mesh over the area. *Please put us down for some chocolate tomatoes**

We get some strong winds here in central Washington. Anything in the ground is gold; potatoes, onions, radishes, and carrots (but have failed a couple times trying to grow garlic) Sturdy vines, crawling plants are preferred; cucumbers, zucchini, spaghetti squash, and cantaloupe grow very well. BTW nice looking Great Pumpkin progress, Ben.
Fruit trees are everywhere in the Kittitas, Yakima, and Wenatchee Valleys. Yield is always impressive; we have an apple, nectarine, plum, pear, and cherry tree in the yard. Jams, lots of jams every September. I make a decent Amaretto Nectarine Jam. The wind really batters tomatoes, jalapenos, and loose leaf lettuce, so I improvised an old display cabinet for a greenhouse (pic above a few posts). It extends the growing season from late March to October. Moisture is always a problem. Yes, there are parts of Washington where it does not rain very often. Water at night, or early in the morning. Enjoy the garden |
