There are different amounts of time required by each variety of fruit as well as types within a variety. So even if the temperature is cold enough at night and warmer during the day it is the overall amount of time in the cold temperatures that matters. I will see if I can find some information and send it to you.<br><br>Also, while working at DI I came across a book, "The Flower Cookbook". It is interesting and filled with information. The author also wrote "The Weed Cookbook". I would love to find a copy to see what weeds were used and how.<br><br>Love your list by the way.Jeremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637974701835039550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607454772819544119.post-29810598104824849362011-10-01T13:36:42.871-06:002011-10-01T13:36:42.871-06:00I wonder if it's possible to have a reverse gr...I wonder if it's possible to have a reverse green house, where it makes the plants colder?L'Jnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08336442943292813905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607454772819544119.post-54737342599252134332011-10-01T13:33:37.759-06:002011-10-01T13:33:37.759-06:00It can get as low as about 27* at night, but the d...It can get as low as about 27* at night, but the days are always above freezing.

Then find fruit tree varieties that have low chill hours in that range. You may be able to grow more varieties of fruit than you think.Jeremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637974701835039550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607454772819544119.post-88023964092019607602011-10-01T13:27:21.568-06:002011-10-01T13:27:21.568-06:00LOL Your comment made it through the maze.LOL Your comment made it through the maze.L'Jnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08336442943292813905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607454772819544119.post-35332409111980786702011-10-01T13:25:04.415-06:002011-10-01T13:25:04.415-06:00hmmmmmhmmmmmJeremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637974701835039550noreply@blogger.com
