Re: What can I plant next year? - coastal foggy climate
I had Boronia and it was meh. I had EM Champion and it was good. What was GREAT was Subarctic Plenty. I basically live in your climate but i am generally with a cooler high in the summers. Frog Princess also was great. With the temps you listed, i wonder if we are neighbors?

Would totally recommend Subarctic Plenty then. Thr flavor was astounding. I am literally right next to hwy 1 in Ft Ord and i look at the bay through our living room window... And those dunes. I am maybe a bit less than .2mi from the water as the crow flies. So i get those crazy winds and the fog. We can feel the waves. Powdery mildew is the worst foe. I had yellow marble cherries 2 years ago and they were great if you are looking for a cherry. They are more acidic.Moth1992 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:17 pmWe pretty much are!

It is an "old fashioned" red flavor. A balance of sweet and acid. Full bodied and the fruit didnt get mealy like others do in the cool temps. It produced tons from August through November for me. At that point, mildew was insane and i killed all the things.
