Re: Asian veg in the US
Hi,
Thanks for the info.Does this apply to all zones in the US?What about those
in zones 8-10?Our temps stays between 75 and 85 year round .Is this too high
for chinese cabbage ?Also wondered if you guys are able to grow Asian fruit
like startfruit, honeydew etc.I have sent out lots of those seeds and wonder
if they'll make it.
