You know, if your soil isn't acidic enough for blueberries, you could always plant some in containers. I have the same problem, so this year I bought a Sunshine Blue blueberry and planted it in a 3 gallon? container. It is supposed to be a natural dwarf variety. Already I am harvesting berries from it and they are very good.

Try One Green World for blueberries right now.

Don, It's really too late now to obtain good plant materials, but it is a great time to prepare those beds for planting next year. For the blueberries, you'll want to acidify and add as much organic matter to the soil as you can. Be aware that all these plants get quite large, and the blackberries will require trellising. For simplicity's sake, I'd start off with the standard Bluecrop for blueberries, Triple Crown for blackberries, and Caroline or Prelude for red raspberries.

I'll second Brook's Triple Crown, Caroline and Prelude. I'm not as into Blueberries, but BlueCrop has been good to me too. Anne and Kiwi Gold are good yellow raspberries.

I live in SE Ma. We have Blueberries, Blackberries and raspberries.

If you want Blueberries you can go to the nursury and pick up plants with Blueberries already on them. They aren't ripe yet but most are loaded. We planted 6 plants last year and decided we wanted to add another 6 more this year. We went today infact and got the other 6 which are loaded with berries.

We have a few different varieties. Northland, Bluejay, Duke and Berkley.

With the Blackberry and Raspberries we put them in last year in August. We got a small crop of both in late September. They are both blooming and loaded with berries that should be ripe sometime in July? I am guessing. They are everbearing plants and I am told will again bloom and produce late fall. I will have to look for the names on these as I don't remember off the top of my head.

I hope this helps. Maybe you can get lucky and find some blueberry bushes like I did with berries on and suprise your wife.
