Just moved into a house! The last owners had spectacular roses, but we'll be taking most of them out in favor of edibles. If anyone has advice on rose-tending in the midwest, we would be very grateful for the information. We tested the soil, and it's a little alkaline (7.5%), so we're treating it with sulphur.

They are fantastic - super hardy, and they grow quickly if you give them a LOT of sun. They don't need much space at all. They're also substantially sweeter than the red round varieties I've tried! |
|
I will have to try them. Mine are long like yours, but just a different variety. Do yours push themselves out of the ground as they grow? |
|
Yup, a little, but not too bad. You can see in the example picture that the photographer didn't mound dirt over the tops because they're discolored :) But, if you keep them covered, the whole ... more » |

Sure, it's great! For a little melon like the kind I'm growing, I'd cut out a hole in the melon (keep the plug) big enough for a funnel. Put the funnel in and fill it with a reasonable amount of vodka (1/2... more » |
