Does anyone have FFO dates (for any year) for either 'Barbara Mitchell' or 'Strawberry Candy' that they would be willing to share, along with the location of their garden?

Maurice, I live in southern Indiana near Evansville (zone 6b). I have Strawberry Candy and here are the FFO's for it that I have. 2012 was an unusual year in that everything bloomed a couple weeks early that year.

I did not know that FFO was a data that others recorded.

It is for fun or do you use the data for other reasons?

Only so I can use the data on this site for others who want to know... like you!! Smiling

If it weren't for sharing information, I don't think my flower gardens would be as much fun. I enjoy having another reason to go out into my flower beds and wander around. My camera is always in my hand when I get home from work (and after I change into my tennis shoes Hilarious! ) and that is how I know my FFO's. Some are not pretty but I take the picture anyway.

Thank you pinkpurple. for the FFO dates. I use the location to lookup the maximum and minimum temperatures each day during those years so that I can calculate the growing degree days the plants experience. Could you please let me know the name of a nearby town or city.

Welcome PinkPurple. Welcome! Welcome!
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Thanks PinkPurple. I always enjoy looking up where people live on Google. Blackhawk Country.
