we've already had 4" of snow.. and plenty of cold rain days.. I've piles of fruit on the vine.. but they don't seem to be turning yellow.. and falling into my hands when touched.. at most a red blush.. perhaps from the cold..
I'll be digging thr lower part and the roots up soon to overwinter them.. but I'm leaving them out to ripen the fruit some.. will this still happen.. or does it need more heat that the 50's we're getting now...
and will the fruit be damaged with the frost...I'm just interested it it for the seeds..
This is Anastasia todaywoops.. yesterday.. Happy Thanksgiving...
oh.. she has a 1/2 dozen other flowers today also... I'm amazed.. and this after 4" of snow some 3 weeks ago..
