growing in northern MN

---

 We're doing alright, its something you get use to.. I mound my soil and use closures

up untill the vine reaches 3or4 ft and then I might protect the plants with some home made hoops of some sort.  Just use plenty wide boards to get to your plants untill you can till again. Usually its straightens out and you are wishing for some light rain again.

  One thing about living this far up nort.. is we get long days and in turn we can catch up real quick. My choices this year are

 780 eaton--  2' vine

 937 bobier--  2' vine

 903 holland--1' vine looks good

 846 calai-- slow plant

 726.5 holland--tremendous start

  850.5 hester starting to run

  703 klema- I grew a 720 from this one with only 250 leaves

 

I've grown 2 over 700lbs with lates starts so patience is a must, good things will come
