OK, I am going to plant some more this year, sounds like fun. When should I plant, how should I prepare the area, put them on something to climb on? Maybe I have been doing it all wrong in the past.
If you mean blueberries.. no need to have a climbing apparatus.. they have strong, woody stems eventually. There are different varieties for difft parts of country.. need to check with local agricultural extension office. They are usually a good source of info on what does well for your soil/climate.
YOU DO NOT WANT MAINE/MICHIGAN VARIETIES IN THE GULF STATES.
Have them far away so you don't have to worry about trimming but not so far that watering in dry weather is not a problem. In NC I used a soaker hose for them. Also at one home we had them more or less as a privacy shield for the home.. but the winter, of course found us with LESS privacy.
Fortunately the winter in the Carolinas is substantially shorter than up here.
