You guys in the Pacific Northwest can grow everything!
I'm trying to get my act together with some home fruit growing. I have several blueberry bushes, but I don't have them sited in enough sun to fruit well. My fig tree has been cranking out some figs in reasonable numbers for the first time this year. Fresh figs are a nice treat!
We have wild blackberries everywhere in my area, but I'm really tired of the war wounds associated with picking them. I need to plant some thornless varieties.
I also have a Japanese Persimmon tree that I need to plant. Those are incredible!
I'm also planning a couple of trellises for muscadine grapes.
I just need to actually get this stuff done.
I would kill to be able to grow cherries, but they apparently do really poorly here. I want to grow stuff that I don't have to spray and tend to constantly.
