Really!

And just when you thought there is no possible way this girl can fit one more thing into that garden of hers....

On my way home from work yesterday I stopped at Common Ground Organic Garden Supply and Education Center to pick up two blueberry bushes. I will be growing two low chill varieties, one called Southmoon and the other Misty. They will be grown in containers. For more info on how to grow blueberries in containers check out Dave Wilson Nursery.


MistySouthern Highbush — Early. In the west, Misty is quite vigorous, growing very well both on the coast and in the inland heat. This excellent fruit does well in areas with chilling as low as 150 hours and all areas with mild winters and hot summers.

Southmoon: Southern Highbush — Exceptional berries with superb flavor. Florida native with vigorous, upright character. Performs well in California both inland and coastal. Prefers light sandy soils. Chilling requirements are estimated to be between 200 and 300 hours.
