Any U-Pick farms in Seattle, Washington?

Posted on September 7, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Well I’ll be going on vacation to Seattle on Wednesday and I was wondering if there were any UPick farms there. Like, those orchards where you pick your own fruits or whatever. I’m only interested in fruits like apricots or cherries or strawberries or other fruits (but not pumpkins :) What fruits is Seattle or surrounding areas in Washington or even British Columbia famous for? If anyone lives there or has been there or knows someone who lives there, please answer. Please provide at least the name of the orchard or farm
Thanks
Actually, I am looking for farms more around northern Seattle like in places north of Seattle such as Bellingham etc all the way until British Columbia. Please help me

Berry garden HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Posted on August 2, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I’m planning out a berry garden and need a little help. I’m having grapes raspberries strawberries blue berries and a big cherry tree right in the center. I need help finding a cheap young tree to buy that will fruit possibly by the next season. I also want more edible berry ideas. Do you have any good tips for keeping the birds out?(but i wouldn’t mind that squirrel family moving in)Any tips for higher quality produce? Are there better ways to prune a cherry tree or berry bushes? I already have an indoor strawberry plant. Can i move it outside? Will my plants live through winter? When do they fruit? What should i use for the grapes to climb? Could they climb the tree or would they choke it?Any general tips are helpful!!!
No more cherry tree can’t live where i am

Strawberry seeds recommendations?

Posted on August 1, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

I have never grown strawberries before. I don’t have a good yard to put in a garden (too shady) so I am going to grow some veggies and such in pots and hanging baskets.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a brand/type of seeds that don’t need a lot of space, yet produce a good quantity/quality of berries? Preferably organic, and one that doesn’t need full sun.

Thanks for your help!

What kind of plant is this- resembles tiny strawberries?

Posted on July 21, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

Anyone know of a plant that has tiny poisonous red berries on it that look like strawberries? They are rounder and more circular than strawberries. I saw them in Louisiana. They don’t grow on a bush. They don’t grow in bunches either- they are very scattered about. That’s all the details I can come up with.

p.s. I’m not talking about these:

This is the basic tips from PVZ: – Sun, sun, and more sun. Plant as many sunflowers as quickly you can; two columns of sunflowers is a good foundation for your sun economy. – Use cheap one-hit-kill plants like potato mines and squashes in the early stages of a level to give yourself time to plant more sunflowers.

Can you plant blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries in close proximity?

Posted on July 3, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

We’re wanting to grow berries in our back yard, but I heard somewhere that you have to be careful about proximity of one variety to another because they can harm each other (I think it was that one type might carry a bug that’s harmful to the other or something). Tried looking that up and can’t find any confirmation of such. We want to plant blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries – is there a minimum distance that each variety can be next to the other, or is growing space the only limiting factor? Thanks!
