Berry gardens?

[StarGazer]

How many of you grow your own berries or have some wild varieties on your property? I'm thinking of trying to set up a corner for this, but I haven't decided which type(s) yet. Many are so good for you, not just in the fruit, but in the medicinal properties found in various parts of the plants.

I've got about 20 blueberry plants. I also turned six rain barrels into strawberry planters and each one holds about 15-20 strawberry plants, although they are not all full right now. They are all in the flower bed in the back yard around the house.

I have 4 blueberry bushes that supply us will all the blueberries we want. This year they were loaded due to all the rain. I think now is the time to plant blueberries. Just be sure they are well mulched for the winter months.

I have blueberry, raspberry and strawberry plants at my house. I am going to be adding more this year when I plant the garden in the spring. They are chock full of health benefits and growing your own is far cheaper than buying them from the store.

I wish I had my own berries growing in my yard. My aunt and cousin have a lot of wild blackberries growing on their properties, though, and I am able to pick and eat to my heart's content when they are in season.

Sounds interesting! I am a newbie here and will explore a lot about herbs here.
