I have family in Michigan and my immediate family had planned to move back there a couple years ago before deciding to stay here Zone 4, but my tiny little spot is often marked as a zone 5 surrounded by 4. I think it's B, but I don't know for certain right this minute

I think the growing season is way longer in Michigan than in Montana

I don't know. The pot they're in drains pretty well, but it has been raining almost every day in large amounts. Shouldn't be diseased, there isn't any disease in the greenhouse I work at and they came straight home from there. I'll try to get them planted soon though and see if that works with...

The tag says zone 4-8, so that isn't my concern, I'm just trying to figure out how to get it so the berries stop going bad before they're ripe.

Okay. They were in a greenhouse and then a basement for a bit, so maybe they just weren't getting much pollination. They're outside for the most part now, though I still need to plant them and get them out of the little pot they grew in. I don't mind some wonky shapes, they just aren't very...

How would I find out what it needs?

Did your berry shape even out as the fruit was produced? Or did wonky shaped berries consistently come from the plant that made them? I have a plant I got that makes really weird shaped berries, but don't know if it's just because this is the first year it's producing

Has anyone here raises raspberry or strawberry plants before?

That's where most of my seeds came from and I haven't had much luck so far. But I also didn't know some needed heat, so it's a toss up on if it's me or not

Got some mammoth sunflowers sprouted!!! And cut up my seed potatoes so they can callous over the next few days

Went ahead and planted some seeds. Might be too late here for them, but maybe not. At least the strawberries aren't too late

Started putting plants in totes and pots on Monday. Might put my raspberries in the inground planter since it's larger than the totes I can get

Bought some plants, and going to start seeds again some time this week (probably monday)Monday. Earlier seeds from March didn't work out.

Banana and sugar rush peach. I just bought them like 2 months ago. I planted come bell peppers and Dantil peppers in a shallow tray today, so I'll see if those ones start up. It's always possible I just planted too deep by accident

Hmm. I didn't do anything heatwise last year with mine

Planted some more peppers today, I'm not seeing any growth at all with the ones I planted earlier, so I'm not sure if I ruined them. Might gently dig some up and see if they ever even opened their seed casing

@Sally PB. Some things, I'm not so sure about, and some are pretty dependent on your situation and location, but it was still a fun read

The plants were guzzling the water last year, but I'll be drilling air holes into the totes, it's possible that they were still rather moist at the bottom of the totes even though they were cracker dry at the tops

Yeah, these were the yellow pear tomatoes, but I think they couldn't as cherry tomatos

Right now the tote is more to just keep the cat from laying on and jumping on them. It was supposed to be filled with dirt, but the chickens scratched enough out over last summer that I ended up emptying one into all the others to get them back to full.
