March Plant: Blueberry

March Plant: Blueberry

 Planting blueberry bushes in your garden is possible with a little preparation. The most important thing is to remember when growing blueberry bushes is that they need a very low ph balance to grow well. Most home gardeners will need to prepare special high acid soil in order to provide the proper blueberry plant care.

For care of blueberry bushes, you may want to consider growing blueberry bushes in containers, or at least in tubs buried in the ground. This will provide containment for the high acid soil the blueberry plants need. The time to plant blueberry bushes is early to mid spring. They need full sun and consistent watering to fruit well. For good blueberry plant care, you may also want to consider pruning your bushes as needed.

March Landscaping Tip

Daffodils: You should now start to see color from your daffodil bulbs. Once the flowers fade, you must “dead-head” them to allow the plant to put energy into the bulb for next year.

If you have plants in container pots on your patio or elsewhere in your garden, this is a good time of year to replace the top layer of soil with fresh compost.
