Today I picked about 6 gallons and haven't put a dent in them. With all the rain we've had this season in the South I thought they wouldn't be as large and sweet as usual. To my surprise, they're larger than ever. The one planting is roughly 40 feet in both directions. And on a 5' chain link fence.

I hear their seeds are packed with anti-oxidants. Are they hardy enough for the NYC climate? For some reason, I always associate them with the South. If they are, I would love to grow them myself.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.com
