What can I say?  I love blackberries.  They are one of my favorite fruits along with mangoes and honeydew melon.   A bush full of sweet, succulent blackberries is like nature-made candy.  At the beginning of this season, I decided on two things; to grow a blackberry bush in a container and to name my plant “Miss Berry”.  The name amuses me and it is apropos.

Planting Your Blackberry Bush

  • Chose the thorn less “bush” variety – Arapaho
  • Used a 40 gallon plastic container
  • Drilled 10 holes in the bottom of the plastic container
  • Covered the bottom of container with river rock
  • Filled container with moisture control potting soil

      Well Mr Banana,
      Make sure that it is planted in a pot that has plenty of room. Surround it with nutritious soil and put it in a bright, sunny location. Make sure to water it well during these summer months. A few kind words, some hello’s and how do you do’s wouldn’t hurt either.

      Take Care Mr. Banana and be sure to check back for Miss Barry updates.
