  Dawn Camp I've always wanted to grow blueberries or blackberries, but didn't know how complicated it would be or how likely that my kids would stain everything with them. :-)

    MammaLoves I feel the same way. I know you need to have more than variety to grow blueberries. It seems so overwhelming.

    rjlight One thing you need to be careful with -- blackberries can be invasive. They send down shoots all over the garden. There is a french variety I had in Spain that was more contained. The variety I had in my garden last year was a nuisance.

    adivinenature I have planted 3 types of blueberries this year - please tell me they are worth the wait, of 2 years to establish the root system. I am keeping the soil acidic, any other advice?
