Greetings from the USA!

Hello everyone, came here from Youtube and am looking forward to joining the backyard grower community. I live in North America and since I am in a subtropical zone, thought what better time to begin a healthy and productive hobby and see where it goes

PS, I accidentally made this post on another thread not realizing I was on the wrong tab. Sorry about that.

 

Welcome Auron, what are you growing at the moment?

 

Hi, we are currently growing blue java banana, tomatoes, Georgia peaches, broccoli and dwarf red cherries. Will be building raised garden beds for next year and beyond. We plan on growing more than what I have listed once the raised beds get completed. Thanks for the welcome

 

Nice to have you here Auron. That's a nice variety of fruits and vegetables you're growing. How much space do you have to grow these in?

 

Hello Ash, we have just under an acre but we are making the most out of it. We are also growing roses and a few other things like hummingbird vine and other plants.

 

Welcome to the forum Auron. Looking forward to you adventures.

 

Thank you

 

Hi Auron & welcome.
I'm very interested to know how your cherry goes in sub tropical climes since they need Xdays of below zero chill factor to produce fruit.
Is this a new variety that will produce in warmer areas?
I wish we could have that variety here in Australia. I love cherries but not the hefty price tag although I don't begrudge the growers being fairly compensated for their hard work. Cherries are hard work.

 

Hi ClissAT, if I remember right, there are dwarf cherry trees but I can't remember the name of them. I have it somewhere and I will shoot you a message with the name or just put it here so anyone who is interested in trying to grow them can try. I live in a climate that gets a few days of close to zero weather during winter so fingers crossed.

 

Thanks Mark and I will be sure to let you all know how it goes. I will be uploading pics on some of my plants and the cherry bushes will be among them. Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Daley's Online Nursery, I agree that they apparently don't give a you know what about customer service. Customer service is something that I take very seriously. They don't feel that you deserve an explanation, they don't deserve you hard earned money.

Edit: I found the name of the bushes we planted. They are called Dwarf Flowering Cherry and are drought tolerant.

 

Welcome to the forum will look forward to your input.

 

Thank you
