Lots of folks in southern BC do it. Takes lots of water.

Why bother? Michigan already produces the best...and plenty of it!

Kicks. Like eating dinner in the backyard. Want more than garlic, prunes and tomatoes. ;-)

Default I did about 7 years ago. It was a good crop after the 2nd year. Used lots of water.
The stuff goes nuts and runs roots like bamboo... Just pick it before it tries to bloom

Huh? I thought it was a perennial, like you get it every year after the second or third year. No?

Default The Okanagan is a little like California in the summer.
I remember moving down from where the Alaska highway begins, and gorging on all the fruits you could grow.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edccord.com/quality/location.htm">http://www.edccord.com/quality/location.htm</a</li></ul>
