'Chandler' blueberry produces HUGE berries and is a rather large shrub. Good Edible Landscaping material, actually!

Saskatoon Service Berry berry:

Smaller than blueberries. Sweet taste when fully ripe.

SO pretty as a hedge, though they only bloom for about 5-7 days up here by us.

Nice hedge, beautiful flowers!

Chandler Blue berry also has an extended harvest period.

Not a bad thing for home growers, but not as desirable for commercial growers and pick your own berry patches who like to be able to schedule picking, get it done, and move on!

It might not be a bad thing to have the Saskatoons if the harvest period overlaps the blueberry harvest period, and if the Birds will also like them the same or more than blueberries.

Does anyone have experience growing potatoes in a hefty bag with drain holes cut into it? We used to grow potatoes but they are hard to dig at our ages. And what medium would you use? Thanks in advance
