The batch was planted the beginning of March and the second is around the middle of May.
The "Hot" batch/varieties gets late day sun and morning shade. The other half of the buckets gets early morning sun and as you already know--plant plenty of cherry varieties. I concur with everybody else on the varieties. Also, I don't know if you know about Sunshine Gardens Community Plant sale. It takes place the beginning of March and the have Gabriel Valley Farm grows their transplants for the sale. Here is the link from last years sale with the plant list. http://www.sunshinecommunitygardens....hp?p=plantsale

There are many helpful and knowledgeable people on TV. Most days--I'm not one of them.

Are the plants in the second picture in buckets? Is this a before/after shot?

I ask cause I don't get that kind of results from my 5 gallon buckets.
