Growing blueberries in warmer climates is possible but it’s important to…

-Pick a varietal that has low chill hour requirements
-Monitor soil acidity. Use a soil pH monitor
-fertilize using a berry fertilizer in the spring and fall.

Happy growing!

The Spacemaster cucumber is a miniature cucumber vine, only reaching 3 to 4 feet, that produces abundant 8 to 10 inch long cucumbers! They are truly the overachiever of the garden. Look at these little guys. Only about 3 inches tall and already blooming!

These cucumbers are a perfect container variety, and can even live their entire lives indoors under a grow light! A perfect choice for the space challenged gardener!
