You know this Jew loves sales!!!

Can't keep in the house. The cat eats EVERYTHING with leaves, fake shit included.

She's retarded.

Next option.

Missed this part. Take into account that peat lowers your PH a tad as well. Might actually be enough, depending on the potting soil you use. In addition, to really drive the roots down and out, don't water till the leaves begin to wilt a little. This means they have gone as far as they can go for water. Keep doing that and the roots will dig. This only works with a deep pot that won't dry out uniformly with the upper soil. Roots will seek out moisture. Root grow helps but not much.

Some more questions for eDave in this post. Good stuff you're providing. And those in DC don't think you know shit?!?!

First, the small gardening job I did yesterday. Vincas along the pool fence, opposite side from my rose bushes. My new blueberry bush on the far left just for the pictures sake.






Now for the questions. Which side of the yard and pot type to put the blueberry bush in?

This is the wall on the West side of the yard. Sun from morning until about 2 pm when it gets shade from wall and palm trees from neighbors. Would put pot right next to pepper plant in this picture.



Or wall on opposite side of yard? This is the wall on the east side of the yard. Morning shade (picture taken around 10 a.m.) with this spot receiving full blast sun the rest of the day. Pot would go next to that cactus (called dessert spoon).



What size of pot? This pot is 18 inches wide but only 13 inches deep. I take it this isn't deep enough?

Is your blueberry a self-pollinating? The ones I've seen around here have to have another variety for cross-pollination.
[Reply]

This one says self pollinating. "Misty" variety. I do read that even self pollinators can benefit from another variety. I personally wanna see if this one makes it first.

Have you considered honeysuckle for the wall? If not, it might be something to consider. And the aroma is amazing..
[Reply]

We have 3 Cape Honeysuckles bushes in the front yard. They grow big and have bright orange flowers. Not super aromatic though. Regular honeysuckle like you're thinking of doesn't tolerate the heat well here.

These grow nice and big here though. Both of ours are 6' tall (not my picture).



And honestly, after this blueberry pot, I am pretty much content with our landscape and plants for now. The yard is pretty full. :-)

Ah, we have (had...) three rhododendron under the front window, and somehow a colony of yellow jackets got into the roots of one and it's all but dead. Perhaps the yellow jackets nested underground because the one was dying. IDK, but I've got my thinking cap on about what to put in, and honeysuckle was one idea. I just need a bush, hopefully that flowers a lot all summer long, that doesn't grow taller the 4 feet, I don't want to block the window.

Camellia?

It's on the list, along with the possibility of some azalea bushes.

Spent an hour today trying to clean out honeysuckle that is strangling the pampas grass. Finally got cut up enough I had to quit for the day.
[Reply]

Lewdog - Looking good. Yea, that pot is not deep enough. It's OK for now but should be transplanted next year. And put in where it will not get shaded at all.
[Reply]

We heard it was very tough to get rid of honeysuckle, but with my green thumb, anything is possible. Took 2 yrs.
[Reply]

I've got some Gezenia flowers in that pot. Was just gauging size.

I'll get a bigger pot tomorrow and place on east wall by that cactus then. No shade there!
