102013 Borealis x2 and pollinator- From T&T seeds WPG- Haskapp edible honeysuckles are extremely hardy and early fruiting. The flower is hardy to -8C and the fruit is ready to harvest the third week of June. The fruit tastes similar to blueberries and is harvested very easily. Treat and handle as you would Tomato or Potato plants--like the same conditions! BOREALIS HONEYSUCKLE: This cultivar produced the largest fruit in the U of Saskatchewans trials. Short, flat, boxy fruit, sweet-tart flavour and deemed ideal for the home gardener Plant at least 1 m (3 ft) apart. Fertilize bi-weekly with Rose & Strawberry fertilzer (10-52-17) and Liquid Seaweed. HARVEST: This is the first fruit crop to ripen. Berries begin to change colors in early to mid June to early July and are ripe 7 to 10 days later during a normal year. Once they become completely purple, wait a few days for them to fully ripen. A good check for ripeness is to bite one in half. If it is green inside, it is not ripe. When ripe the interior should be red. When unripe, berries are slightly bitter and may have a grass-like flavor or mild astringency .

Grape Vine 20HOPS planted fromT&T A sun loving plant, make sure you choose a spot in full sunlight for most if not all of the day. Support must be present for these to climb. The soil should be well worked and kept weed free. Plant after threat of frost has passed. Plant the long root 2 cm (1 in) deep (parallel to surface), buds pointing up. First year plants need frequent light waterings. Fertilize regularly with Rose & Strawberry 10-52-17 up until mid-July. When vines reach about 30 cm (1 ft) prune back to just 3 strong vines and make sure they grow up provided support. They reach their ultimate height of 5-7 m (15-25 ft) by early July. They then start producing sidearms which will bear the flowers, do your best to prevent sidearms from becoming too tangled. Vines produce both male and female flowers. The female develop the hops cone only. The plant is basically establishing its root system the first year, so not too much flower production can be expected. As this is a very dense foliage plant wa
