Hi,
I still do not have a "Gardens" or "Member Gardens" tab on my page. I have all the other tabs that have been described. I am properly logged in as it shows my user name and I checked my Firefox cookies and the HMF cookie is there>
Help! I'd really like to put my garden on the site.
Thanks
Cath

Yes, the member garden button is missing - we'll find out what happened. Thanks for letting us know.

I am also waiting to get a "my gardens" tab. Cath41, have they given you any updates?

That problem had slipped through the cracks, thank you for the reminder. It has been corrected and we look forward to your garden listing.

Very stiff and upright on my trellis. You need to keep on top of things to keep it in bounds. Would recommend you sprawl it out laterally along a tall fence than trying to bend the stiff canes on a narrower trellis. Awesome in bloom. Very disease resistant.

Agreed, but that stifness is also beneficial is you grow it as a free standing shrub. I grew an own root plant of Altissimo that way for nearly eighteen years. It stood upright perfectly all by itself. It made a very attractive "pillar" of dark green leaves, brilliant red blooms and bright orange hips.

That's why i plan on taking some cuttings.
How tall and wide did it get? Or did you keep the size in check? The canes that are not yet attached to my trellis shot up to over eight feet from the base without any support.

Mine was own root and in full, all day sun so it didn't have the extra vigor of a root stock, nor did it have to climb for light. It remained about six feet at its highest with many other shoots shorter. It was more than satisfactory grown that way.
