More from the Northland

March 25th, 2003 by Judy Miller · No Comments

I visited Bachman’s once–the store was bigger than my hometown!
When I worked at a nursery in Grand Forks ND, we kept an extensive library of all the handouts from the Minnesota and ND Extension services and the U of M. They were always a resource to us and we gave them to our customers. I still use the information from them though back at home things aren’t so severe–I can grow several varieties of pears and sweet cherries here for example, as opposed to just hoping for ones to be developed for Grand Forks! Many of those handouts are online now. Those folks know from cold–most of ND is Z3.
