Blueberries

August 11, 2012

Are you growing blueberries? I do and I LOVE being able to go out to the garden and pick a handful of really fresh berries. Blue sunshine! Living in coastal Southern California, the best kind for us to grow here are Southern Highbush blueberries. There are a number of varieties available to grow, so you have lots of choices.

My blueberries have, for the most part, have finished producing fruit so I’m leaving them alone for the time being. They aren’t really resting, though, because the growth of my bushes is booming! It’s tempting to prune, but my reading tells me to wait until the dormant season, after the leaves have fallen off the bushes. But how to prune? That is the question. Here are a few links that describe the proper care of blueberry bushes:
