village living in Bulgaria. Anyone else?

Hi Don! That sounds wonderful!

I want to try honeyberry too, but I think where I am in the rural north-east is just too hot and dry in summer for them. Have you tried Balkep? They have honeyberries: https://www.balkep.org/lonicera-caerulea.html

Though I think their garden may be zone 7, so possibly they won't be heat tolerant enough.
