Blueberry Bushes

There is nothing better then taking a hike and finding wild raspberries or blackberries. Summer is not complete without berries in a smoothie, over granola, or on shortcake.

This year I want to plant blueberry bushes in my garden. Blueberry bushes will produce fruit in their 3rd year; if you buy a 3 year old bush and plant it in the spring then you will have fresh berries by summer!

Blueberry bushes:
Require full sun
Need an acidic soil
Like clay and rocky soils
Irrigate regularly
Use a mesh net to detract hungry birds
Prune in fall to promote berries next summer

Do you think you would enjoy fresh berries? If so start digging holes so you can plant some blueberry bushes!
