GREEN THUMB THURSDAY: It’s BERRY TIME!

It’s Jenny from My Garden Nursery!  Have you noticed?  Bellingham is BERRY excited this year! We’ve had tons of calls at My Garden Nursery from folks eager to grow their own blueberries, raspberries — even hardy kiwi!

Choose from the sweet and stunning Pink Lemonade Blueberry to reliable favorites like Patriot and the compact, patio-perfect Sunshine Blue, there’s a blueberry for every space and taste.

If raspberries are more your jam?  Black jewel, Tulameen, Fall Gold, and for containers, Raspberry Shortcake.

Whether you’re planting a hedge or filling a pot, we’ve got the right berry for your garden including 10 types of strawberries and 3 types of honeyberries. And yes — we’ve got both male and female hardy kiwi, perfect for our Pacific Northwest climate!

Quick tip for blueberries: They love acidic soil — mix in some acid planting mix and organic blueberry fertilizer to keep them happy. And don’t forget — most varieties produce better with a pollination buddy, so plant at least two different types! There’s nothing sweeter than picking fresh berries in your own backyard.

And here’s a bonus: Now through Sunday, take 30% off all bareroot fruit trees, including favorites like Rainier Cherry and Italian Prunes — before we pot them up! Come visit My Garden Nursery in Bellingham — your local berry-growing headquarters!
