well ,i'm back from clem heaven!. the trip was amazing. the two gardens of note are the silver star vinery and the joy creek gardens. ssv had more clems of course, as they specialize,and joy creek's overall garden was amazing also. both had display gardens for clems only and clems in landscape settings and gardens such as you and i might covet.
where to start.
the pruning workshop was not really a workshop, but it was interesting to see brewsters colllection and meet the folks there. we did some pruning to tidy up some plants. i am glad to have been there for that, but the highlight was ssv and joy creek. ssv has every type of clem, each grown in several spots (display garden and landscape style)...seeing most of the clems grown in different ways was interesting.
pruning wise, reinforcement that mid july (bastille day timing) is when you do the mid season bigger pruning. it seems perfect timing here with the clems looking like they need it. this seems to be the timing in the pacific northwest as well as here and the uk!
