preparing for dormancy


Question
I know we still have a little time left until dormancy however this year I have a friend who is allowing me to use his greenhouse to winterize the plants in which he keeps heated to just above freezing (by the way I live in Iowa) or I have the option to utilize the fridge method.  I was wondering which one you think would be better.  Also I was wondering if you could provide a link or picture of what fungicide you use from safer brand. Thank you all the help with this wonderful hobby and thanks for the help earlier this season as I gave my plants more sun light and they grew like weeds.

Answer

Safer Fungicide
Hi Chad,

The greenhouse by all means is the better option.  Temperatures in the 30's are perfect.  There's more of a tendency for problems to develop using the refrigerator method.  I'll enclose a photo of the product.

Good Growing!
