Blueberries, see how many chill hours you have and find out if the varieties you want will get enough. Then just mix in a decent about of peat and some sulfur to the soil.

raspberries. Some people can't kill them even though they try. Heritage is a "standard" variety. Anne is a good yellow. I like Mac for the blacks.

You should be aware that big box store nurseries are notorious for selling plants that are not appropriate for the local climate, this is not to say everything they sell is bad, just that it is often a dice roll is it will grow well where you live. For berries like these there are a few things you need to know, I will try to keep it simple here:

First you need to know you USDA harshness zone http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/  and secondly you need to know your chill hours http://mrcc.isws.illinois.edu/VIP/indexChillHours.html  Note chill hours will vary from year to year, but this will give you an idea of last winter and the deviation from the average for the last 10 years.

First on Blueberries, there are many varieties, probably dozens even that are climate appropriate to where you live, it is hard to go wrong with any of the newer varieties that have been released in the last 20 years or so. Some may be better than others, some may be better for backyard harvesting vs commercial with features like extended harvest times, then there are early or late harvest, etc. For best results with blueberries you want to plant at least 2 different varieties, but you want ones that bloom at the same time so they cross pollinate. Blueberries also need very acidic soil, more acidic than most other types of plants can even tolerate, for the vast majority of people this means soil conditioning long before planting, or use of raised beds, adding lots of peat and bark mulch fines to the soil, possibly along with sulphur. So see what the local nursery offers, but google the variety for chill hours and see if it is in the ballpark for your location. Most blueberries don't produce until 2-4 years of age, so it is often best to plant an established plant that is 18-24 inches tall.

For raspberries, much of the same applies, except they are far more tolerant of a wide range of soil condition, they however generally do better in a cooler climate, and don't perform well in the deep south or other hot parts of the country. Again climate appropriate varieties are important, also be aware some types of Raspberries are primocane fruiting so the fruit on first year canes, others fruit on second year canes. For Raspberries / Blackberries and their crosses canes stop fruiting after the second year and need to be cut out to allow fresh growth. By contrast blueberries canes will fruit for several years, but should also be removed when they start getting old and woody to keep the bushes thinned out and to promote new growth.

Depends on your locale. Here in So Cal strawbs, blueberries (in containers) and boysenberries are pretty easy. Raspberries not so much, but 'Bababerry' is starting to show some promise. :)

Thank you!!
